Lyrics
- Who is ev’rybody looking at?
Give me a look at her, too
Ev’rybody’s asking, who is that?
Know her? I certainly do
Sorry but I guess I’ve got to leave you flat
Can’t you see, She’s paging me?
Chorus
Don’t you know who she is?
Looking right at me is
Sugar! My Sugar!
Talk about your kissin’
That’s what made me christen
Sugar! My Sugar!
The flowers kiss her feet
Here’s how the birdies greet
My Sweetie, “Tweet! Tweet! Tweet”
Which means, ain’t she sweet?
Bees would not be buzzin’
‘Round her if she wasn’t
Sugar! My Sugar!
I declare that honey hasn’t got a thing on her
No, sir
I might also mention, bring to your attention
She’s so refined
In conclusion therefore
That is why I care for Sugar
- Don’t need any sugar in my tea
Whenever she is around
She just sweetens ev’rything for me
There’s nothing sweeter, I’ve found
What is more, I know she’s mine exclusively
Gee! Ain’t I the lucky guy?
