- Verse:
- I'm just a little "Jackie
Horner" since I met my sugar cane.
- That gang of mine has been
revealin' that they're feelin sore.
I left the lamplight on the corner for the moon in lover's lane.
I'm doing things I never did before.
-
- Chorus:
- When take my sugar to tea,
all the boys are jealous of me,
- 'Cause I never take her
where the gang goes, when I take my sugar to tea.
- I'm a rowdy dowdy thats
me. She's highhat baby, thats she.
- So I never take her where
the gang goes, when I take my sugar to tea.
Ev'ry Sunday after noon, we forget about our cares,
Rubbing elbows at the Ritz, with those millionaires.
- When I take my sugar to
tea, I'm as Ritzy as I can be,
- 'Cause I never take her
where the gang goes, when I take my sugar to tea.
