If you "come from away"
You may want to stay
When on the very first day
A complete stranger
May call you "honey"
But when you are here for a while
You will just have to smile
When someone without guile
A person unknown to you
Calls you "my love"
But please have no fear
For where you are here
You'll find everyone
Will call you "my dear"
Sometimes you may get lucky
And even be called "ducky"
But don't be alarmed
And don't be in shock
Just sit back and enjoy
The "Honey from the Rock"
