A Taste Of Honey

Marlow/Scott

Lyrics:
A taste of honey
tasting much sweeter than wine
Do dut don du, do dut don du

I dream of your first kiss and then
I feel upon my lips again
A taste of honey
A taste of honey
tasting much sweeter than wine
Do dut don du, do dut don du

I will return, yes I will return
I'll come back for the honey, and you
Do dut don du, to dut don du

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart
There lingers still though we're far apart
A taste of honey
A taste of honey
tasting much sweeter than wine
Do dut don du, do dut don du

I will return, yes I will return
I'll come back, I'll come back
for the honey, for the honey
and you

Where John and George respond to Paul's "I'll come back", George only seems to manage "'ll come back". Maybe he wasn't sure on whether it was "I'll", "He'll" or "You'll"

Notes:

Considered a standard song, it has been recorded by many artists including Martin Denny, the Victor Feldman Quartet, Tony Bennett, Herb Alpert, and The Beatles on February 11, 1963. They used this song as a result of being "forced" by popular demand, to sing standard ballads to their live audiences in Hamburg and Liverpool. The Beatles didn't really like the song, and Lennon at times, for fun, changed the chorus to " a waste of money."
