Lyrics
Don’t you care what people say
Let them have their way
Don’t you care that friends seem very few
Cuddle closer to my breast
Dream a while and rest
While I sing this little song to you
Refrain
Honey-bun! No matter where you wander
Honey-bun! I’ll only grow the fonder
I am yours alone, every bit your own
My arms enfold you and closely hold you
Honey-bun! My heart is soft as putty
Honey-bun! You’ve surely got me nutty
Sweether, there is none, not a one
‘Neath the sun, Honey-bun
