[C] (Honeycomb) (Honeycomb)
Well it's a [C]darn good life and it's kinda funny
How the [F]Lord made the bee and the bee made the honey
And the [G7]honeybee lookin' for a home
And [C]they called it a honeycomb
And they [C]roamed the world and they gathered all
Of the [F]honeycomb up in one sweet ball
And the [G7]honeycomb from a million trips
Made my baby's [C]lips
{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
Oh, [F]Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well [C]Honeycomb, be my own
Got a [G7]hank of hair and a piece of bone
They made a [C]walkin' talkin' Honeycomb
Well, [F]Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well [C]Honeycomb, be my own
What a [G7]darn good life
When you got a wife like [C]Honeycomb
{eoc}
. (Honeycomb)
And the [C]Lord said now that I made a bee
I'm gonna [F]look all around for a green, green tree
[G7]Made a little tree and I guess you heard
[C]What then, well, he made a little bird
And they [C]waited all around till the end of Spring
Gettin' [F]every note that the birdie'd sing
And they [G7]put 'em all into one sweet tone
For my Honey-[C]comb
{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
Oh, [F]Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well [C]Honeycomb, be my own
Got a [G7]hank of hair and a piece of bone
They made a [C]walkin' talkin' Honeycomb
Well, [F]Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well [C]Honeycomb, be my own
What a [G7]darn good life
When you got a wife like [C]Honeycomb
{eoc}
And the [C]Lord said now that I made a bird
I'm gonna [F]look all round for a little ol' word
That [G7]sounds about sweet like "turtledove"
[C]And I guess I'm gonna call it "love"
And He [C]roamed the world lookin' everywhere
Gettin' [F]love from here, love from there
And He [G7]put it all into one little part
Of my baby's [C]heart
{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
Oh, [F]Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well [C]Honeycomb, be my own
Got a [G7]hank of hair and a piece of bone
They made a [C]walkin' talkin' Honeycomb
Well, [F]Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
Well [C]Honeycomb, be my own
What a [G7]darn good life
When you got a wife like [C]Honeycomb
