Original Sheet Music Cover
(1905) Sung by Polly Premier and Jimmy Gingerbread There's a new house I know, On a nice quiet street, Just for newly-wed couples that's all. Mister Cupid the landlord Keeps everything neat, And the place is called Honeymoon Hall. Now I hear an apartment Is vacant today, On the sunnyside O, such a view! So if you will marry me, Love, right away, You and I will move into "Suite Two!" Honeymoon, Honeymoon Hall! O, the rent there is nothing at all. 'Tis in Bill and Coo street, All the rooms are "en-suite," And upon you no creditors call. Down in Honeymoon, Honeymoon Hall! It is crowded in springtime and fall, And the band plays the wedding march Down in Honeymoon, Honeymoon Hall. There's a big floral Wedding bell over the door, When you call you give one wedding ring; There are love-birds In cages on every floor, And the sweetest of love-songs they sing. O with true lovers knots All the curtains are tied, And fresh kisses are Served morn and night. And when the sun sets And it's evening outside, The gas with a love-match you light! Honeymoon, Honeymoon Hall! O, the rent there is nothing at all. Etc.

Baum wrote The Woggle-Bug which flopped. But Denslow, illustrator of the original Wizard of Oz, had much better luck with his new show, The Pearl and the Pumpkin, based on Denslow's and West's children's book of the same name. This song was sung by Polly Premier and Jimmy Gingerbread and is a charming and pun-filled love fest.  1905 Victor Record Label Listen to this 1905 recording!
