4  -3* -1  -2 -3   4    -3*   -1  -2 -3
Ev-‘ry hon-ey bee fills with jeal-ous-y
4     -3* -1  -2  -3   -3  -3
When they see you out with me
-3  3    -2    -1
I don't blame them
-2    -2   -2    -3  3   -2  -1  -2
Good-ness knows  Hon-ey-suck-le rose

4     -3*    -1  -2  -3
When you're pass-in' by, 
4    -3*   -1   -2  -3
Flow-ers droop and sigh
4  -3* -1   -2 -3  -3  -3
And I know the rea-son why
-3       3    -2  -1
You're much sweet-er
-2    -2   -2    -3  3   -2  -1  -2
Good-ness knows  Hon-ey-suck-le rose

-2     3   3* -3
Don't buy sug-ar
-3*   4   -3* 4    4*   4 -3*
You just have to touch my cup
3      -3 -3* -4
You're my sug-ar
4     -5    5   -5   -5* -5 4
It's sweet when you stir it up

4    -3* -1  -2   -3
When I'm tak-in' sips
4    -3*   -1 -2  -3
From your tas-ty lips
4     -3*  -1 -2  -3  -3  -3
Seems the hon-ey fair-ly drips
-3      3   -2  -1
You're con-fec-tion
-2    -2   -2    -3  3   -2  -1  -2
Good-ness knows  Hon-ey-suck-le rose
