EVA CASSIDY
"Honeysuckle Rose"
(Andy Razaf / Fats Waller)

Every honeybee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me.
I don't blame 'em, goodness knows,
My honeysuckle rose.

Flowers droop and sigh when you're passin' by,
And I know the reason why-
You're much sweeter, goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose.

I don't buy sugar-
You just have to touch my cup.
You're my sugar-
It's so sweet when you stir it up.

On the avenue, people look at you,
And I know just why they do,
You're much sweeter, goodness knows,
You're my honeysuckle rose.

[Instrumental]

Every honeybee fills with jealousy
When they see you're out with me.
You're much sweeter, goodness knows,
You're my honeysuckle.

Oh...flowers droop and sigh when you're passin' by
And I know the reason why.
You're much sweeter, goodness knows,
You're my honeysuckle rose.

I don't buy sugar-
You just have to touch my cup.
You're my sugar-
It's so sweet when you stir it up

On the avenue, people look at you,
And I know just why they do.
You're much sweeter goodness knows,
You're my honeysuckle rose.
You're much sweeter, goodness knows,
My honeysuckle rose!
