Lyrics Madeleine Peyroux

Madeleine Peyroux

Honey Party

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
