"Okay, a Carl Perkins number now called `Honey Don`t`!"
ONE, TWO, THREE!
WELL, HOW COME YOU SAY YOU WILL WHEN YOU WON`T?
SAY YOU DO, BABY, WHEN YOU DON`T?
EV`RYTHING ABOUT YOU IS SO DOGGONE SWEET;
YOU GOT THAT SAND ALL OVER YOUR FEET.
BUT AH-HAH, HONEY, DON`T,
WELL, HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
I SAY YOU WILL WHEN YOU WON`T,
AH-HAH, HONEY, DON`T.
WELL, I LOVE YOU, BABY, AND YOU OUGHT TO KNOW,
I LIKE THE WAY THAT YOU WEAR YOUR CLOTHES.
EV`RYTHING ABOUT YOU IS SO DOGGONE SWEET,
YOU STILL GOT SAND ALL OVER YOUR FEET.
BUT AH-HAH, HONEY, DON`T,
WELL, HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
I SAY YOU WILL WHEN YOU WON`T,
AH-HAH, HONEY, DON`T.
"Let me hear it!"
WELL, I LOVE YOU, BABY, ON A SATURDAY NIGHT,
SUNDAY MORNING YOU DON`T LOOK RIGHT.
YOU`VE BEEN OUT PAINTIN` THE TOWN,
AH-HAH, BABY, BEEN SLEEPIN` AROUND,
BUT AH-HAH, HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
I SAID, HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
I SAY YOU WILL WHEN YOU WON`T,
AH-HAH, HONEY, DON`T.
"Let me hear the guitar!"
WELL, HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
HONEY, DON`T, (bop, bop, bop, bop)
I SAY YOU WILL WHEN YOU WON`T,
AH-HAH, HONEY, DON`T.
