Ev'  -  ry  hon - ey bee fills with jeal - ous - y

Gm7               C7       Gm7
When they see you out with me;

I don't blame them, good - ness knows,

Gm7  C7                   F
     Hon - ey - suck - le rose.

Gm7                    C7  Gm7                  C7
When you're pass - ing by, flow - ers droop and sigh,

Gm7            C7        Gm7
And I know the rea - son why;

You're much sweet - er, good - ness knows,

You're my  sug - ar; it's sweet when you stir it up.

When I'm tak - in' sips from your tas - ty lips,

Gm7                 C7       Gm7

You're con - fec - tion, good - ness knows,

Gm7  C7                   F      Gm7   F
     Hon - ey - suck - le rose.
