Honeysuckle Rose

Thomas 'Fats' Waller



Ev'ry honeybee.... fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose

When you're passin' by....flowers drop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose

Don't buy sugar....you just have to touch my cup
you're my sugar....it's so sweet when you stir it up

When I'm taking sips...from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection.....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose.

(instrumental break)

Don't buy sugar....you just have to touch my cup
you're my sugar....it's so sweet when you stir it up

When I'm taking sips...from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection.....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose.

I said you're confection.....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose.



Louis Armstrong recorded "Honeysuckle Rose" with 'Fats' Waller
on December 12, 1938, and again with his All Stars band in 1955
