The teacher said it's time to think about the annual play
To be put on next month and sponsored by the PTA
Most of you have seen the script and now the question is
Who would like to play the part of honey
The part calls for a lady who was beauty wit and charm
Who falls in love with Jerry Walsh of Merry Meadow Farm
In the end they marry and go off to see the world
Now who would like to play the part of honey
[ harmonica ]
The hand of Sally Jordon slowly raised into the air
Other members of the class all turned around to stare
For Sally Jordon was a poor girl it was plain to see
She could never play the part of honey
The teacher just pretended that she didn't see a hand
Instead she picked the daughter of a very wealthy man
Poor and pretty Sally sat there holdin' back her tears
She wanted so to play the part of honey
