The Boswell Sisters - Presenting The Boswell Sisters

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 a lamp light on that old 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

Every 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 there as can be
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes
When I take my sugar to tea

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
