TASTE OF HONEY

pretty pretty girl I'm gonna get her
the cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
all the newsboys on the street corners
got the scruples of a guinea pig and the morals of a gangster

you can't stop me I won't let you
I've got more twists than a barrel of pretzels
all the newsboys on the street corners
dear Miss Lonelyhearts hope you get my letter

I don't have all day I want a taste of honey
is it as sweet as they say? I want a taste of honey

little pretty one wants to be a winner
life is a gossip column she wants to be in it
all the newsboys on the street corners
how much fame will it take to make them go away?

you've got a pure heart don't you deny it
that's four-day-old fish I won't buy it
all the newsboys on the street corners
if you don't feel it now wait 'til you get older

I don't have all day I want a taste of honey
is it as sweet as they say? I want a taste of honey

wherever it is we're going we're getting there
the drummer says the stories this cymbal bag could tell

pretty pretty girl now fast asleep
I will fetch you jewels from the deep
all the newsboys on the street corners
if you want my love again flip the record over

you don't have all day I want a taste of honey
is it as sweet as they say? I want a taste of honey
we don't have all day I want a taste of honey
