Lyrics
1. Have you heard about the sweetest gal in Dixieland
That’s Honey Sal, pretty Honey Sal
If you’ve ever met this daisy then you know she’s grand
She’s the sweetest one underneath the sun
Talk about your Valley Flowers or Southern Rose
You ought to see my Sal out in her Sunday clothes
She’s the little cutey, the Tutti Frutti
My little darling “Hon”
Chorus:
Honey Sal, I am crazy ’bout you Honey Sal
You’re the sweetest little gal
You’re some gal, little pal
O you Sal, something tells me we are headin’
Straight ahead into a weddin’, Honey Sal
I’m a fool about you, Honey Sal
I’ve got the funniest sensation
Don’t know what I will do
If I lose you, Honey Sal
2. I would go the limit any time for petty mine
O that wedding tune, coming mighty soon
We will give the honeymoon a little chance to shine
I’ll take off my hat, I will sure stand pat
If you catch me walking any day with her
And don’t know where I’m going, why you just infer
Oh, it’s to the altar, now don’t you halt her
But let it go at that
