Honey joy, honey joy, honey joy.
And I'm much too old to be a good boy,
With my whole long life to enjoy.
Honey joy, honey joy, honey joy.
And I'm much too old to be a good boy,
It's not just one big mistake.
And I saw you kissing by the river, boy.
There was no love to destroy
And the things he did just made me shiver.
But I wanted so bad to be with her.
And I saw you climbing up a mountain.
And I could not share in your joy.
I must do my part to abandon.
Oh please come, honey joy.
