Ricky Nelson - Honeycomb lyrics

rate me

(Bob Merrill)

Well, it's darn good life and it's kinda funny

How the bee was made and the bee made the honey

And the honeybee looking for home they called honeycomb

And they combed the world and they gathered all

Of the honeycomb into one sweet ball.

And a honeycomb from a million trips made my baby's lips

Oh, honeycomb won't you be my baby, well, honeycomb be my own

Just a hanka hair and a piece of bone

And made a walking, talking honeycomb.

Well, honeycomb won't you be my baby

Honeycomb be my own

What a darn good life when you got a wife

Like a honeycomb.

Now have you heard tell how he made a bee

Then he tried a hand at a green, green tree

So the green was made, I guess you heard up in

Well, he made a little bird.

Then they waited all around till the end of spring

Gettin' every note that the birdie sing

And he wrote it up in one sweet tone

For my honeycomb.

Oh, honeycomb won't you be my baby

Honeycomb be my own

What a darn good life when you got a wife

Like a honeycomb.

In a little while when he made that girl

They looked around for a little word

Sounds as sweet as turtle dove

So they called it love.

And when he went around looking everywhere

Gettin' love from here love from there

And he started up in a little ole part

For my honey's heart.

Oh, honeycomb won't you be my baby

Honeycomb be my own

What a darn good life when you got a wife

Like a honeycomb...
