When I take my su-gar to tea,
4 -3 -1 -1 -1* -1 -1* 2
all the boys are jeal-ous of me,
4 4* -5 -5 -5 5 -3* -3 5 -3*
‘Cause I nev-er take her where the gang goes,
-2 3 -3 -3 3 -2 3 -2
When I take my su-gar to tea.

4 -3 -1 -1 -1* -1 -1* 2
I’m a row-dy dow-dy, that’s me,
4 -3 -1 -1 -1* -1 -1* 2
she’s a high hat ba-by, that’s she,
4 4* -5 -5 -5 5 -3* -3 5 -3*
So I nev-er take her where the gang goes,
-2 3 -3 -3 3 -2 3 -2
When I take my su-gar to tea.

-2 3 -3* -2 3 -3* -5
Ev-‘ry Sun-day af-ter-noon,
5* -3* 3 -2 3 3 3
we for-get a-bout our cares,
-3 4 1 -1 -2 3 -3
Rub-bing el-bows at the Ritz,
3* 3* 3 -2 4
with those mil-lion-aires.

When I take my sug-ar 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.

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.
