I've got a sweet tooth
|
for licorice drops and jelly roll,
|
Hey sugar daddy,
|
Hansel needs some sugar in his bowl.
|
I'll lay out fine china on the linen
|
And polish up the chrome
|
and if you've got some sugar for me,
|
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.
|
|
Black strap molasses,
|
you're my orange blossom honey bear.
|
Bring me Versace blue jeans
|
and black designer underwear.
|
Let's dress up like the disco-dancing jet set
|
in Milan and Rome.
|
And if you've got some sugar for me,
|
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.
|
|
Oh the thrill of control,
|
like the rush of rock and roll,
|
is the sweetest taste I've known.
|
So come on, Sugar Daddy, bring it home.
|
|
When honey bees go shopping
|
it's something to be seen.
|
They swarm to wild flowers
|
and get nectar for the queen.
|
And everything you bring me
|
gets me dripping like a honeycomb
|
and if you've got some sugar for me,
|
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.
|
|
Oh the thrill of control,
|
like a Blitzkrieg on the roll,
|
is the sweetest taste I've know.
|
So if you've got some sugar
|
bring it home.
|
Oh come on, Sugar Daddy, bring it home!
|
|
Whiskey and French cigarettes,
|
a motorbike with high-speed jets,
|
a Waterpik, a Cuisinart
|
and a hypo-allergenic dog.
|
I want all the luxuries of the modern age,
|
and every item on every page
|
in the Lillian Vernon catalogue.
|
|
Oh baby, something's crossed my mind
|
and I was thinking you'd look so fine
|
in a velvet dress
|
with heels and an ermine stole.
|
Oh, Luther darling, heaven knows
|
I've never put on women's clothes
|
except for once
|
my mother's camisole.
|
|
So you think only a woman
|
can truly love a man.
|
Then you buy me the dress
|
I'll be more woman
|
than a man like you can stand.
|
I'll be your Venus on a chocolate clam shell
|
rising on a sea of marshmallow foam
|
and if you got some sugar for me,
|
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.
|
|
It's our tradition to control,
|
like Erich Honecker and Helmut Kohl,
|
from the Ukraine to the Rhone.
|
Sweet home uber alles,
|
Lord, I'm coming home.
|
So come on, Sugar Daddy, bring me home.
