Honeysuckle Rose (Live 7/28/64) - Ella Fitzgerald & Count Basie

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. 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

Honeysuckle, high in the tree You let the world live under you Like you're some good royalty No one can touch you, when you're Reckless in the summer, that heat You let him wonder, but you never let him sink in his teeth No one can touch you when you move Move your body round in nothing but white cotton shirts Come on, come on, come on but it leaves so soon When you hang it up for something heavy now so insecure (What's the melody?) Come on, come on, come on, come on sing Honeysuckle, fell from the tree Now let the world walk over you Like a junkie on the street You push them further, when you're Wasted in December indoors You wish he'd wonder, but he never comes around anymore You push them further Go high Honeysuckle, that's you Honeysuckle, that's you No one can touch you when you move Move your body towards the sun and think white cotton shirts Come on, come on, come on it'll be here so soon You can let it go as the colors change, and you feel that turn Come on, come on, come on, come on sing Honeysuckle, high in the tree You let the world live under you Like you're some good royalty No one can touch you, when you're Reckless in the summer, that heat You let him wonder, but you never let him sink in his teeth No one can touch you when you move

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. 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

Creme tangerine de Montelimar A ginger sling with a pineapple heart A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news But you'll have to have them all pulled out After the Savoy truffle Cool cherry cream (nice apple tart) I feel your taste all the time we're apart Coconut fudge really blows down the blues But you'll have to have them all pulled out After the Savoy truffle You might not feel it now But when the pain cuts through You're going to know and how The sweat is going to fill your head When it becomes too much You're going to shout aloud (But you'll have to have them all pulled out) (After the Savoy truffle) Creme tangerine (de Montelimar) A ginger sling with a pineapple heart A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news But you'll have to have them all pulled out After the Savoy truffle
