“Honey” is closer to “tree” than “sugar” is, and as you saw, **CheshireKat** , both words are used in that song. In play: Sure, as long as no one tries to stuff me into a **funny** sack. ---

And it was Tommy James and the Shondells originally before Idol redid it.) Continuing… Typical neighbor? He was dead! But I can understand the confusion because Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman fooled people into thinking he was alive in the movie “Weekend at **Barney** ’s”. ---
