[Verse 1]

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

How the bee was made, the bee made honey

And the honey bee lookin' for a home

Made a honeycomb

Then they combed the world and they gathered all

Of the honeycomb into one sweet ball

And the honeycomb from a million trips

Made my baby's lips


[Chorus]

Oh honeycomb, won't you be my baby

Well honeycomb be my own

Just a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone

Made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb

Well honeycomb won't you be my baby

Well honeycomb be my own

What a darn good life when you got a wife

Like honeycomb (Like honeycomb)


[Verse 2]

(Mmm, mmm, mmm) Now have you heard tell how they made a bee

Then they tried a hand at a green, green tree

So the tree was made, I guess you heard

Up in, well they made a little bird (Mmm, mmm, mmm)

Now they waited around 'til the end o' spring

Savin' every note the bird did sing

And they rolled it up into one sweet tone

For my honeycomb


[Chorus]

(Honeycomb) Honeycomb, won't you be my baby

Well honeycomb be my own (Doo-wop)

Just a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone

Made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb

Well honeycomb won't you be my baby

Well honeycomb be my own (Doo-wop)

What a darn good life when you got a wife

Like honeycomb (My honeycomb)


[Verse 3]

(Doo-wop, Doo-wop) In a little while when they made that bird

(Doo-wop, Doo-wop) They looked around for a little word

(Doo-wop, Doo-wop) Sounded sweet as turtle dove

So they called it love

(Doo-wop, Doo-wop) Then they went around lookin' everywhere

(Doo-wop, Doo-wop) Takin' love from here, love from there

(Doo-wop, Doo-wop) And they stored it up in a little cart

For my honey's heart


[Chorus]

(Honeycomb) Honeycomb, won't you be my baby

Well honeycomb be my own (Doo-wop)

Just a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone

Made a walkin', talkin' honeycomb

Well honeycomb won't you be my baby

Well honeycomb be my own (Doo-wop)

What a darn good life when you got a wife

Like honeycomb

(honeycomb, honeycomb)
