The sheet music:
Lyrics
1. Honey, you’re so tantalizing
I feel like vocalizing
A pretty love song to you
Lots of things I could sing for you
To show how I adore you
But there’s just one I “wanna” do
CHORUS
I could sing a song about the moonlight
And roses wet with dew
But I don’t “wanna” sing about the moonlight
Honey, I “wanna” sing about you
I could sing a song about the June night
Like the others do
But I don’t “wanna” sing about the June night
Honey, I “wanna” sing about you
‘Cause you’ve got lips, oh what lips
Just the “kinda” lips I prize
And you’ve got oh! oh! oh! oh!
I see it in your eyes
So take away the roses and the moonlight
And the June night, too
‘Cause I don’t “wanna” sing about the moonlight
Honey, I “wanna” sing about you
2. Honey, you’re a sweet temptation
You brought an inspiration
I wrote a love song for you
And I called it “Birds and Flowers”
I rhymed the flowers with hours
Someday I’ll sing the thing for you
