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.
