Lyrics
Refrain:
When I’m met by the pet
That I never could forget
By the honeysuckle vine
She’ll be there, Oh! so fair
With a ribbon in her hair
By the honeysuckle vine
The honey bees are wild about her
They follow my sweetheart
Because her lips are sweet as honeysuckle
The Bees can’t tell them apart
We will stand, hand in hand
While I tell her what I’ve planned
By the honeysuckle vine
Then she will name that day divine
When she’ll be mine
And I know that I owe her an ocean of bliss
She’s gonna see how her sweetie can kiss
When I’m met by the pet
That I never could forget
By the honeysuckle vine
Refrain:
When I’m met by the pet
That I never could forget
By the honeysuckle vine
She’ll be there, Oh! so fair
With a ribbon in her hair
By the honeysuckle vine
The honey bees are wild about her
They follow my sweetheart
Because her lips are sweet as honeysuckle
The Bees can’t tell them apart
We will stand, hand in hand
While I tell her what I’ve planned
By the honeysuckle vine
Then she will name that day divine
When she’ll be mine
And I know that I owe her an ocean of bliss
Wait and see the “English” I put on a kiss
When I’m met by the pet
That I never could forget
By the honeysuckle vine
