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 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

Ev'ry Sunday afternoon
We forget about our cares
Rubbin' elbows at the Ritz
With those millionaires

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

Bo-lo-lo-loah-whoa-mm
Bo-lo-lo-whoa-ooh

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

Rubbin' elbows at the Ritz
With those millionaires
When I take my sugar to tea
I'm as ritzy there as I can be
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes
When I take my sugar to tea
