"Honeysuckle Rose"

I'll upload 2 versions of this song later today, but in the meantime, Happy Valentine's Day to all of you.

Version 1 from Ain't Misbehavin' (Ken Page and Nell Carter)
Version 2 from Holly Cole

Honeysuckle Rose
Thomas 'Fats' Waller

Ev'ry honeybee.... fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose

When you're passin' by....flowers drop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose

Don't buy sugar....you just have to touch my cup
you're my sugar....it's so sweet when you stir it up

When I'm taking sips...from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection.....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose.

(instrumental break)

Don't buy sugar....you just have to touch my cup
you're my sugar....it's so sweet when you stir it up

When I'm taking sips...from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection.....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose.

I said you're confection.....goodness knows
Honeysuckle Rose.

Louis Armstrong recorded "Honeysuckle Rose" with 'Fats' Waller on December 12, 1938, and again with his All Stars band in 1955.
