Every honeybee fills with jealousy

When they see you out with me.

I don't blame 'em, goodness knows,

My honeysuckle rose.



Flowers droop and sigh when you're passin' by,

and I know the reason why--

You're much sweeter, goodness knows

You're my honeysuckle rose.



I don't buy sugar--

You just have to touch my cup.

You're my sugar--

It's so sweet when you stir it up.



On the avenue, people look at you,

and I know just why they do,

You're much sweeter, goodness knows,

You're my honeysuckle rose.

You're my honeysuckle rose.

My honeysuckle rose!
