Verse:
I know a thing or two, and I'm telling you, I've got a wonderful guy.
He's got the cutest smile, a million dollar style: He's such a wonderful pal.
I just feel so happy, for I love him so,
When he is by my side, I'm so filled with pride, I want the whole world to know.

 

Chorus:

When my sugar walks down the street, All the little birdies go tweet, tweet, tweet,
And in the evening when the sun goes down, It's never dark when he's around.
He's so affectionate and I'll say this, That when he kisses me, I'll sure stay kissed.
When my sugar walks down the street, The little birdies go tweet, tweet, tweet.
