When my sugar walks down the street
The little birdies go "Tweet, tweet, tweet"
And in the evenin' when the sun go down
It's never dark when she's around

She's so affectionate I'll say this
And when she kisses me I'll stay kissed
When my sugar walks down the street
The little birdies go "Tweet, tweet, tweet"

<instrumental break>

And when my sugar walks down the street
All the birdies go "Tweet, tweet, tweet"
And in the evenin' when the sun go down
It's never dark when she's around

She's so affectionate and I'll say this
And when she kisses me I'll stay kissed
And when my sugar walks down the street
The little birdies go "Tweet, tweet, tweet"
