Honey-Land 1909

'Twas in the golden summer time,
Around the honeysuckle vine,
Two little bumble bees began to spoon.
Said he: "Now dearie,
name the day when you and I will fly away
to Honey Land upon our honeymoon.
I'll swear to always love but you,
and as your king bee I'll be true,
If you'll give me your little heart and hand.
I'll build for you the cutest home.
Out of wax and honeycomb,
If you'll be my queen in Honey Land."

Honey Land! Honey Land!
Together we will wander
in that sunny land.
Happy we'll be
just you and me,
Sipping honey
underneath the simmon tree;
Honey Land! Honey Land!
We'll need no money, honey,
in that sunny land,
spending all our lives
loving in the hives,
In Honey Honey Land.

Honey Land! Honey Land!
Together we will wander
in that sunny land.
Happy we'll be
just you and me,
Sipping honey
underneath the simmon tree;
Honey Land! Honey Land!
We'll need no money, honey,
in that sunny land,
spending all our lives
loving in the hives,
In Honey Honey Land.

Said she: "Dear, if you'll promise me,
to always be a busy bee,
And never be a trifler or a drone,
Nor idle in the summer breeze,
an buzzing 'round with other bees,
and leave your little queen bee home alone
If you'll bring home the honey drips
you gather from the sunny lips,
of daisies, daffodils and lilies grand;
And swear by all the stars above
No other bee will share your love,
I'll be your queen in Honey Land.

Honey Land! Honey Land!
Together we will wander
in that sunny land.
Happy we'll be
just you and me,
Sipping honey
underneath the simmon tree;
Honey Land! Honey Land!
We'll need no money, honey,
in that sunny land,
spending all our lives
loving in the hives,
In Honey Honey Land.

Honey Land! Honey Land!
Together we will wander
in that sunny land.
Happy we'll be
just you and me,
Sipping honey
underneath the simmon tree;
Honey Land! Honey Land!
We'll need no money, honey,
in that sunny land,
spending all our lives
loving in the hives,
In Honey Honey Land.
