in a georgia cotton field
honey hush
come in this house, stop all that yackety yack
come in this house, stop all that yackety yack
come fix my supper, don't want no talkin' back
well, you keep on jabberin', you talk about this and that
well, you keep on jabberin', you talk about this and that
turn off the waterworks, baby, they don't move me no more
turn off the waterworks, baby, they don't move me no more

The lyrics of The Pirates' song "Honey Hush" speak of a man who is tired of his woman's constant chatter and demands, and just wants her to stop talking and make him supper without any backtalk. He threatens her with a baseball bat if she makes him "noivous" (nervous), and asserts that she is nothing but an "alley cat". The man is ready to leave and not come back if she keeps on talking as he has had enough of her talking about "this and that". He tells her to turn off the waterworks as it doesn't move him anymore. The refrain of "Honey Hush" is repeated throughout the song, acting as a sort of command to the singer’s partner to quieten down.
The song is a commentary on the gender dynamics of relationships, with the man being in a position of power and control over his woman. His demands for silence and subservience from his partner, as well as his use of violent threats to silence her, illustrate the oppressive nature of their relationship. The refrain of "Honey Hush" can also be seen as a metaphor for the suppression of women’s voices in society and their constant need to be silenced.
