WHOSE HONEY ARE YOU?
J Fred Coots (m) Gaven Gillespie (l)

as rec by Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm 
March 6th 1935 New York

also rec by Henry "Red" Allen & his Orch '35


Whose honey are you?
Whose tea do you sweeten?
Who's sugar and spice
And everything nice
Depend on you?

Whose honey are you?
Whose dream are you completin'?
Who goes for those eyes
like sugar plum pies?
Whose honey are you?

You've got a tiny little bit of heaven
In your finger tips;
You've got all the rest of heaven
On your sugar coated lips!

Who's gonna get you,
Some Sunday go meetin'?
Whose little heart leaps
And wants you for keeps?
Whose honey are you?

Whose honey are you?
Who gets your affection?
Who makes the dates
And kisses, and rates
The lovin' you do?

Whose honey are you?
Who makes the selection?
Whose beautiful schemes
And honeymoon dreams
Are gonna come true?

Please tell me,
Have you really made your mind up
Who it's gonna be?
Don't you think, before we wind up,
We're terrific, you and me!

Whose honey are you?
Whose dream of perfection?
Who's gonna raise fame
And let me explain?
Whose honey are you?
