Honey Do - Live

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
