Honey Do(in Album One Particular Harbour) Lyrics

Honey Do 

By: Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley 

1983 

For Hoagy Carmichael 

You never try to keep the wild ones home 

But mister don't just sit there and wait 

Go out on the town makin' all of the rounds 

It don't matter if you're your own date 



(Aah, aah, ah, ah ah ah) 

(Aah, aah, ah, ah ah ah) 

Vacantly occupied, sat on the beach 'til my body got fried 

Dreamin' of your pretty eyes up in South Carolina 

I can't pronounce my r's or g's when I'm speakin' Southernese 

Honey do, honey come and do me again 



I've seen your fat cat style 

Three hundred pounds of jive ass smile 

Young girls gigglin' all the while 

That's not my cup of chowder 



I go for candlelight 

Cold champagne nearly every night 

Honey do, a little toast for me and you 



Honey (honey) why couldn't you have taken the non-stop train 

I'm hungry (hungry) and I really want to see you again 



I know it's gettin' late 

Waiter keeps starin' at your empty plate 

Maitre'd keeps tellin' me 

"Uh Sir, she's just not coming" 



Now what the hell does garcon know 

We've been through all this befo' 

Honey do, honey come and do me again 



-- Spoken: "Alright Blues Torpedoes" 



(sax solo) 



Honey (honey) why couldn't you have taken the non-stop train 

I'm hungry (hungry) and I really want to see you again 



Vacantly occupied, sat on the beach 'til my body got fried 

Dreamin' of your pretty eyes up in South Carolina 

I can't pronounce my r's or g's when I'm speakin' Southernese 

Honey do, honey come and do me again (one more time) 

Yeah honey do, honey come and do me again 

Oh oh oh oh 

Honey do, honey come and do me again
