Paul wrote ‘Honey Pie’ as a tribute to the music that his father listened to.
My dad’s always played fruity old songs like this, and I like them.
Paul was inspired music hall songs such as ‘Cheek to Cheek’ he’d heard growing up.

[Intro]
She was a working girl North of England way
Now she's hit the big time in the U.S.A.
And if she could only hear me, this is what I'd say
[Verse 1]
Honey Pie, you are making me crazy
I'm in love, but I'm lazy
So, won't you please come home?
[Verse 2]
Oh, honey pie, my position is tragic
Come and show me the magic
Of your Hollywood song
[Bridge 1]
You became a legend of the silver screen
And now the thought of meeting you

[Verse 3]
Oh, Honey Pie, you are driving me frantic
Sail across the Atlantic
To be where you belong
Honey pie, come back to me
[Instrumental Verse: Solo guitar John Lennon]
Ooh, yeah
I like it like that, oh ah

Kindly send her sailing back to me?
Tee, tee, tee
[Verse 4]
Now, Honey Pie, you are making me crazy
I'm in love but I'm lazy
So, won't you please come home?
Come, come back to me, Honey Pie
[Outro]
Ooh, oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Honey Pie, Honey Pie
