Ev -'ry hon -ey bee fills with jeal -ous -y when they see you out with me,

I don't blame them, good -ness knows, Hon -ey Suck -le Rose.

When you're pass -in' by flow -ers droop and sigh, and I know the rea -son why.

You're much sweet -er, good -ness knows, Hon -ey Suck -le Rose.

Don't buy sug -ar, you just have to touch my cup.

You're my sug -ar, it's sweet when you stir it up.

When I'm tak -in' sips from your tas -ty lips, seems the hon -ey fair -ly drips.

You're con -fec -tion, good -ness knows, Hon -ey Suck -le Rose.
