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.

(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, 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.
