When I Take My Sugar To Tea Lyrics

Leon Redbone

From the Album 'Sugar' (1990)

When I take my sugar to tea
All the boys are jealous of me
But 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
All the boys are jealous of me
But 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
All the boys they're jealous of me
But I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to (whistle)
