When I Take My Sugar to Tea

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 lamp light on the corner,

for the moon in lover's lane.

I'm doing things I never did before.

When I 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, that's me,

She's a high hat baby, that's she,

So I never take her where the gang goes,

When I take my sugar to tea.

Ev'ry Sunday afternoon,

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 can be,

'cause I never take her where the gang goes,

When I take my sugar to tea.
