Ella Fitzgerald - Honeysuckle Rose Lyrics

Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics

"Honeysuckle Rose"
(originally by Fats Waller)

Every 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 droop 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 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

Don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
'Cause you're my sugar
It's sweet when you stir it up

And honey drips from your lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

So don't buy sugar
'Cause you're my sugar
And you're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
