《Honeypot》歌词

[00:00:17] There once lived a man sly as a fox

[00:00:20] Who finally made up his mind

[00:00:23] To settle down in the woods

[00:00:29] To live in peace and happiness

[00:00:31] Far off the mean world

[00:00:34] And to get over all disillusions

[00:00:40] So year after year strolled about

[00:00:43] Day by day in his quiet wood

[00:00:47] Gathering honey in his jar

[00:00:49] Just like a busy little bee

[00:00:52] He carried it home and fixed the jar

[00:00:55] Right above his rocking chair

[00:00:58] Without ever daring to taste it

[00:01:32] Then one day as the jar was almost filled

[00:01:38] The thought came up to him that hanging way up high

[00:01:44] He might hold a good fortune and if he stay industrious

[00:01:49] He sure could take a dear neat wife in days that could come soon

[00:01:55] And maybe it would be enough for bringing up a little son

[00:02:00] He gladly hoped his wife could bear to him

[00:02:06] He would raise the son to be a noble gentleman

[00:02:11] So that the world might look at him and cry in admiration

[00:07:49] Rejoicing loud he rocked in his chair quite mad with joy

[00:07:54] Reflecting the outlooks and good chances ahead

[00:07:59] To and fro higher and higher

[00:08:02] And suddenly he tumbled headlong through the air

[00:08:05] And happened to hit the honeypot

[00:08:10] The jar came down and the precious gold was pouring

[00:08:16] And now up coming quick

[00:08:20] So that he was forced to swim for his very life

[00:08:25] And we tend to believe that this way

[00:08:29] Is not the one that leads to happiness
