KISSIN' MY HONEY
(Joe Lubin / George Wyle)

as recorded by Doris Day
With Frank De Vol & his Orchestra
August 15th 1958 Hollywood


Oh, oh what joy, oh what fun,
Kissin' my honey, kissin' my love!

My heart is gay,
And feelin' young,
I'm like a bumble bee,
A bumble bee who's just been stung!

I'm flyin' high,
Just like a kite,
And I keep seein' stars,
Although there's not a star in sight!

Oh, oh what joy, oh what fun,
Kissin' my honey, kissin' my love!

I wanna sing
The whole day long,
I'm like a nightingale,
A nightingale who's full of song!

My heart's in tune,
It's filled with rhyme,
I'm ticking like a clock,
And I keep ticking all the time!
Oh, oh what joy, oh what fun,
Kissin' my honey, kissin' my love!

The reason why (the reason why)
I feel so young, (I feel so young)
And like a bumble bee, 
A bumble bee who's just been stung!

You clip my wings, (you clip my wings)
And maybe yours, (and maybe yours)
And now my heart belongs,
Belongs to only you because

Oh, oh what joy, oh what fun,
Kissin' my honey, kissin' my love,
Kissin' my love,
Kissin' my love!
