You can take all the tea in China
 Put it in a big brown bag for me
 Sail right around all the seven oceans
 Drop it straight into the deep blue sea

 He's as sweet as tupelo honey
 He's an angel of the first degree
 He's as sweet as tupelo honey
 Just like the honey from the bee

 You can't stop us on the road to freedom
 You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
 Men with insight, men in granite
 Knights in armor bent on chivalry

 He's as sweet as tupelo honey
 He's an angel of the first degree
 He's as sweet as tupelo honey
 Just like honey from the bee

 You can't stop us on the road to freedom
 You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
 Men with insight, men in granite
 Knights in armor intent on chivalry

 He's as sweet as tupelo
 He's an angel of the first degree
 He's as sweet as tupelo honey
 Just like honey from the bee

 He's an angel who came down from heaven, yes [bad word] 
 He's an angel of the first degree
 He's as sweet as tupelo honey
 Just like honey from the bee

 Just like honey from the bee
 Just like honey from the bee
