[Chorus] 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,
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.
