Honeycomb
Jimmie Rodgers Lyrics

Well it's a darn good life
Life is really good

And it's kinda funny
It's sort of amusing

How the Lord made the bee
It's interesting how God created bees

And the bee made the honey
Bees produce honey

And the honeybee lookin' for a home
Honeybees search for a place to live

And they called it honeycomb
The bees named their home honeycomb

And they roamed the world and they gathered all
The bees traveled everywhere and collected all of the honeycomb

Of the honeycomb into one sweet ball
They merged the honeycomb into a singular sweet object

And the honeycomb from a million trips
The bees collected the honeycomb from a million journeys

Made my baby's lips
The honey from the honeycomb made my lover's lips sweet

Oh, Honeycomb, won't you be my baby
I want Honeycomb to be my partner

Well, Honeycomb, be my own
Please be mine

Got a hank o' hair and a piece o' bone
I have curly hair and a nice physique

And made a walkin' talkin' Honeycomb
All those parts combined make me a charming Honeycomb

What a darn good life
Life is pretty amazing

When you got a wife like Honeycomb
Having a partner like Honeycomb makes life even better

And the Lord said now that I made a bee
God says that after creating bees

I'm gonna look all around for a green, green tree
God looks for a green tree

And He made a little tree and I guess you heard
God created a little tree, maybe you've heard of it

Oh, then well he made a little bird
Then, he made a little bird

And they waited all around till the end of Spring
The bird and the tree waited until the end of Spring

Gettin' every note that the birdie'd sing
They listened to every song the birdie sang

And they put 'em all into one sweet tome
They combined them into one sweet book

For my Honeycomb
For my beloved partner

And the Lord says now that I made a bird
God says after making a bird

I'm gonna look all round for a little ol' word
He searches for a small sweet word

That sounds about sweet like "turtledove"
Something with similar sweetness to the word "turtledove"

And I guess I'm gonna call it "love"
He decides to call it "love"

And He roamed the world lookin' everywhere
God searches the entire world

Gettin' love from here, love from there
He finds love in various places

And He put it all in a little ol' part
He puts all the love in a small part

Of my baby's heart
In my lover's heart
