Lyrics
- Listen to me, listen to me
I’ve got a whole lot to say
Listen to me, listen to me
Things have been coming my way
I met somebody
That’s why I’m so happy today
Listen to me, listen to me
I want to holler and shout
Wait’ll you see, wait’ll you see
Wait’ll you see me step out
With a load of charm
On my arm
Well worth raving about
Refrain
Sweeter than sugar is my Sweetie
Sweeter than honey or jam
So sweet is she that when she kisses me
I don’t put sugar in my coffee or tea
Candy, molasses or sweet cookie
Sweeter than all of the three
I would have that sweet little soul
Living in a sugar bowl
Sweeter than sugar is my Sweetie
Sweet as a sweetie could be
- Listen to me, listen to me
She’s such a sweet little pet
Listen to me, listen to me
Right from the moment we met
My sweet tooth pained me
It hasn’t stopped hurting me yet
Way out of town, way out of town
We’ll spend the rest of our days
We’ll settle down, we’ll settle down
Just like a couple of Jays
We’ll start raising Cain
Sugar cane
That’s not all we’ll raise
