"When I Take My Sugar to Tea" — the 1931 possessive devotion.
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.
Im a rowdy dowdy,
Thats me, shes a high hat baby, thats 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,
Im as ritzy as I can be,
cause I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.
(musical interlude)
Every sunday afternoon,
We forget about those cares,
Rubbing elbows at the ritz,
With those zillionaires.
When I take my sugar to tea,
Im as ritzy as I can be,
cause I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take, take my sugar to tea.
