Any of the other Answers would be possible, but less natural, except Answer 3 which we would never say.

Answer 2 is also possible: 'one' = 'a car' (i.e. one unit of what we were referring to before, which was cars).

There would be two people involved in the honeymoon (presumably!), so we change the agreement of the Indirect Object ('me') to the plural form ('us'); 'it' ( = the house) comes later, as the Direct Object.

You may hear this sung (probably more as a joke) at the end of a party!
