"Sugar Boogie" lyrics - MARCIA BALL

Way down south at harvest time
People up and down the line
Smell that kettle, piping hot
Just a little bit will hit the spot

Put it in your coffee, put it in your tea
Sprinkle it on your pastry
Cook it up or melt it down
Serve it white or serve it brown

Uh huh, a little sugar, yeah, a little sugar
A little sugar makes your day complete
Uh huh, a little sugar, yeah, a little sugar
A little sugar, it ain't nothing but sweet

If you're down and need a pick me up
Put a teaspoon in your cup
If it is romance you seek
Give it to your mama right on the cheek

Uh huh, a little sugar, yeah, a little sugar
A little sugar makes your day complete
Uh huh, a little sugar, yeah, a little sugar
A little sugar, it ain't nothing but sweet

Slow as molassas, just as thick
Red and white like a peppermint stick
You can keep your mustard greens
Just give me those pecan pralines

Hear that music, it's the taffy man
All those kids with money in their hands
Follow that wagon down the street
Getting that candy they love to eat

Uh huh, a little sugar, yeah, a little sugar
A little sugar makes your day complete
Uh huh, a little sugar, yeah, a little sugar
A little sugar, it ain't nothing but sweet
