Píseň: When I Take My Sugar To Tea

Interpret:
Nat King Cole
Album:
Jumpin' At Capitol
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
