Honeysuckle Rose (Tribute to Andy Razaf) [feat. Maxine Sullivan] - Charlie Shavers, Maxine Sullivan, Charlie Shavers & his Ensemble

Every honey bee fills with jealousy

When they see you out with me

I don’t blame them, goodness knows

My honeysuckle rose

Flowers droop and sigh when you’re passing by

And I know the reason why

You’re much sweeter, goodness knows

You’re my honeysuckle rose

I don’t buy sugar

You just have to touch my cup

You’re my sugar

It’s so sweet when you stir it up

On the avenue, people look at you

And I know just why they do

You’re much sweeter, goodness knows

You’re my honeysuckle rose

Every honey bee fills with jealousy

When they see you out with me

You’re much sweeter, goodness knows

You’re my honeysuckle rose

Oh, flowers droop and sigh when you’re passing by

And I know the reason why

You’re much sweeter, goodness knows

You’re my honeysuckle rose

And I don’t buy sugar

You just have to touch my cup

You’re my sugar

It’s so sweet when you stir it up

On the avenue, people look at you

And I know just why they do

You’re much sweeter, goodness knows

You’re my honeysuckle rose

You’re much sweeter, goodness knows

My honeysuckle rose
