You can take all the tea in China   Put it in a big brown bag for me   Sail right around the seven oceans   Drop it straight into deep blue sea      He's as sweet as Tupelo honey   He's an angel of the first degree   He's as sweet as Tupelo honey   Just like honey baby, from the bee      You can't stop us on the road to freedom   You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see   Men with insight, men in granite   Knights in armor bent on chivalry      He's as sweet as Tupelo honey   He's an angel of the first degree   He's as sweet as Tupelo honey   Just like honey baby, from the bee      I heard a tale of old Manhattan   I've never been there but I want, want to go   Standing waiting on my number   And my number's gonna show      He's as sweet as Tupelo honey   He's an angel of the first degree   He's as sweet, he's as sweet as Tupelo honey   Just like honey baby, from the bee      He's as sweet as Tupelo honey   He's an angel of the first degree   He's as sweet as Tupelo honey   Just like honey baby, from the bee
