Lyrics
Do You Do Honey Dew
by Elizabeth Petty and Tammy Jann
© 2015
VERSE 1
Went to Farmer's Market
for veggies and fruits
like arugula, eggplant
leeks and tuber roots..
Apples, beans, squash,
carrots, heirloom peas,
red ripe tomatoes,
sweet honey from bees...
But at the melon stand
I could not decide
given the choices
which one I should buy
I picked some up
Even smelled a few
And that's when he said...
"Do you like honey dew?"
CHORUS
Oh, yeah, he said..
"Do you do honey dew, do ya?
Do you do honey dew, do ya?
Do you do honey dew, do ya?
Do you honey?
Do you do
Do you do
Do you do
Honey dew...
Sweet Honey Dew"
VERSE 2
He asked me again
I said "I think so"
He said, "Then try some
'Cuz I, I need to know"
He cut me a slice
Held it to my lips
Watched me eat it
His hands on his hips
I gave him a smile
As I nodded yes
Juice dripping down
I was a sticky mess
He laughed at me
And leaned closer in
Winked, wiped my chin
And asked again...
CHORUS
Oh, yeah, he said..
"Do you do honey dew, do ya?
Do you do honey dew, do ya?
Do you do honey dew, do ya?
Do you honey?
Do you do
Do you do
Do you do
Honey dew...
Sweet Honey Dew"
BRIDGE
Well that was well over ten years ago
And since that time I've come to know
How to grow honey dew so grand
As sweet as my love from the melon stand
CHORUS
Oh, yeah, he said..
"Do you do honey dew, do ya?
Do you do honey dew, do ya?
Do you do honey dew, do ya?
Do you honey?
Do you do
Do you do
Do you do
Honey dew...
Sweet Honey Dew
Sweet Honey Dew"
