Lyrics Honey and the Honecomb - Ethel Waters, Max Meth & His Orchestra, Ethel Waters, Max Meth & His Orchestra

Honey and the Honecomb

What have I got that the others ain’t
That always seems to please
T’ain’t my perfume, nor my fancy paint
But when I charm the men all swarm
Just like they was bees
There’s honey in the honeycomb
There’s sugar in the cane
There’s oysters in a real oyster stew
And bubbles in sweet Champagne
There’s jelly in the jellyroll
And sap in every tree
There’s honey in the honeycomb
And, Honey, there’s love in me
There’s honey in the honeycomb
There’s nectar in the peach
There’s candy in a coconut shell
And mussels on every beach
There’s money in the savings bank
And I personally guarantee
If there’s honey in the honeycomb
Then, Baby, there’s love in me
