The Honeybee Mile
Come on honey
Wont you listen to me
I run the big wide world in this galaxy
And you’re a rising star
That much is apparent to me
You’re a home town girl
But I’ve got to confess
You look like a lady in a bit of distress
Would you like to ride with me
On the candy express?
You’ve got no cash
But plenty of dreams
And I’m a generous man with physical means
I’ll make a couple of calls
Then jump start your machine
And if you’re on my team
Then I’d hazard a guess
With a rack like that in a suitable dress
Those uptown boys
Are going to be impressed
This is your big part
You’d better be steady
You’re making a new start
With a wannabe smile
And I’m breaking your sweet heart
Just getting it ready
Cause I’m plotting your new chart
Down the honeybee mile
There’s a couple of dudes
That I need you to see
It might get rough so take a couple of these
I’ll be waiting at home
Just call me when you leave
And you can walk my street
Wear the wannabe smile
Be sure you check back every once in a while
Then no one’s going to get hurt
On the honeybee mile
