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

[Instrumental Interlude]

Every Sunday afternoon
We forget about those cares
Rubbing elbows at the Ritz
With those zillionaires
When I take my sugar to tea
I'm as ritzy as I can be
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes
When I take, take my sugar to tea
