Lyrics of Honeycomb

Well, honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, honeycomb be my own
He took a hank of hair and a piece of bone
And made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb
Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when ya got a wife like honeycomb

Well, it's a darn good life but it's kinda funny
How the lord made the bee, the bee made the honey
The honeybee lookin' for a home
And they called it a honeycomb
And he roamed the world and he gathered all
Of the honey into one sweet ball
The honeycomb from a million trips
Made my baby's lips

Oh, honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, honeycomb be my own
He took a hank of hair and a piece of bone
And made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb
Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when ya got a wife like honeycomb

And the lord said "now that i made a bee
I'm gonna look all around for a green, green tree"
He made a little tree and i guess ya heard
What then, well he made a little bird
And he waited all around till the end of spring
A-gettin' every note that the birdies sing
He put 'em all into one sweet song for my honeycomb

Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, honeycomb be my own
He took a hank of hair and a piece of bone
And made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb
Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when ya got a wife like honeycomb

And the lord said "now that i made a bird
I'm gonna look all around for a little old word
Sounds about sweet like a turtle dove
And i guess i'm gonna call it love"
And he roamed the world lookin' everywhere
Gettin' love from here, love from there
Put it all in a little old part of my baby's heart

Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, honeycomb be my own
He took a hank of hair and a piece of bone
And made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb
Honeycomb, won't ya be my baby, honeycomb be my own
What a darn good life when ya got a wife like honeycomb
What a darn good life when ya got a wife like honeycomb
(honeycomb be my own)
