When I Take My Sugar to Tea
Sweet Escapade: Reveling in Romance with My Sugar
Lyrics
I'm just a little Jackie Horner
I feel insignificant or unimportant
Since I met my sugar cane
Since meeting my beloved partner
That gang of mine has been revealin'
My friends have shown that they're upset or resentful
That they're feelin' sore
They're feeling hurt or aggrieved
I left the lamp light on the corner
I left the streetlight on the corner
For the moon in lover's lane
For a romantic rendezvous under the moon in a private place
I'm doing things I never did before
I'm engaging in new activities or behaviors
When I take my sugar to tea
When I escort my sweetheart for tea
All the boys are jealous of me
Other men envy me
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes
Because I don't take her where our friends typically go
When I take my sugar to tea
When I accompany my beloved for tea
I'm a rowdy-dowdy--that's me
I'm flamboyant and carefree
She's a high-hat baby--that's she
She's sophisticated or high-class
So I never take her where the gang goes
I avoid taking her to places frequented by our friends
When I take my sugar to tea
When I escort my beloved for tea
Ev'ry Sunday afternoon
Every Sunday afternoon
We forget about our cares
We relax and unwind
Rubbing elbows at the Ritz
Socializing at a luxurious place
With those millionaires
With wealthy individuals
When I take my sugar to tea
When I escort my beloved for tea
I'm as Ritzy as can be
I am sophisticated and elegant
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes
I avoid taking her to places frequented by our friends
When I take my sugar to tea
When I accompany my beloved for tea
