When I Take My Sugar to Tea - Herbie Mann, The Boswell Sisters

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
