🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Well it’s a darn good lifeAnd it’s kinda funnyHow the Lord made the beeAnd the bee made the honeyAnd the honeybee lookin’ for a homeAnd they called it honeycombAnd they roamed the world and they gathered allOf the honeycomb into one sweet ballAnd the honeycomb from a million tripsMade my baby’s lips
Oh, Honeycomb, won’t you be my babyWell, Honeycomb, be my ownGot a hank o’ hair and a piece o’ boneAnd made a walkin’ talkin’ HoneycombWell, Honeycomb, won’t you be my babyWell, Honeycomb, be my ownWhat a darn good lifeWhen you got a wife like Honeycomb
And the Lord said now that I made a beeI’m gonna look all around for a green, green treeAnd He made a little tree and I guess you heardOh, then well he made a little birdAnd they waited all around till the end of SpringGettin’ every note that the birdie’d singAnd they put ’em all into one sweet tomeFor my Honeycomb
Oh, Honeycomb, won’t you be my babyWell, Honeycomb, be my ownGot a hank o’ hair and a piece o’ boneAnd made a walkin’ talkin’ HoneycombWell, Honeycomb, won’t you be my babyWell, Honeycomb, be my ownWhat a darn good lifeWhen you got a wife like Honeycomb
And the Lord says now that I made a birdI’m gonna look all round for a little ol’ wordThat sounds about sweet like “turtledove”And I guess I’m gonna call it “love”And He roamed the world lookin’ everywhereGettin’ love from here, love from thereAnd He put it all in a little ol’ partOf my baby’s heart
Oh, Honeycomb, won’t you be my babyWell, Honeycomb, be my ownGot a hank o’ hair and a piece o’ boneAnd made a walkin’ talkin’ HoneycombWell, Honeycomb, won’t you be my babyWell, Honeycomb, be my ownWhat a darn good lifeWhen you got a wife like Honeycomb
