honey party

Singer:madeleine peyroux

i saw a handsome dancing bee under the flow'ring apple tree

raising his butt up to the sky shaking his wings like a firefly

he wants to dance

he wants to share romance

cause he's going to a honey party

i asked him please show me the way to his field of flowers by the bay

but he would not let me follow behind until i danced with a different mind

he said: you've got to dance

you've got to share romance

if you're going to a honey party

and i woke up behind the sky in the arms of a man with a golden eye

the place a-buzz with every kind of sweet love

laughter and honey-wine

and i did dance

i did share romance

and i know about the honey party

now i think back to that summer of song i thought would last my whole life long

i remember the love that made me strong and i'd be so glad if you'd come along

you've got to dance

you've got to share romance

if you're going to a honey party
