The Honeysuckle And The Bee 1901

Bzzz, Bzzz,

On a summer afternoon,
where the honeysuckles bloom,
When all nature seemed at rest,
'Neath a little rustic bow'r
Mid the perfume of the flow'r
A maiden sat with one she loved the best,
As they sang the songs of love,
from the arbor just above,
Cause a bee which lit upon the vine;
As it sipped the honey dew,
They both vowed they would be true,
Then he whispered to her
words she thought divine:

You are my honey, honeysuckle
I am the bee,
I'd like to sip the honey sweet
from those red lips you see;
I love you dearly, dearly,
and I want you to love me,
You are my honey, honeysuckle,
I am the bee.

Bzzz, Bzzz,
So beneath that sky so blue,
these two lovers fond and true,
with their heart so filled with bliss;
As they sat there side by side,
he asked her to be his bride,
she answered "Yes"
and sealed it with a kiss;
For her heart had yielded soon,
'Neath the honeysuckle bloom,
and thro' life they'd wander
day by day:
And he vowed just like the bee,
"I will build a house for thee,"
and the bee then seemed
to answer them and say:

You are my honey, honeysuckle
I am the bee,
I'd like to sip the honey sweet
from those red lips you see;
I love you dearly, dearly,
and I want you to love me,
You are my honey, honeysuckle,
I am the bee.

You are my honey, honeysuckle
I am the bee,
I'd like to sip the honey sweet
from those red lips you see;
I love you dearly, dearly,
and I want you to love me,
You are my honey, honeysuckle,
I am the bee.
