Sorcha's post is close to correct, but this is direct from the Doris Day/Frankie Laine recording. I wonder why I remember this song so well. It peaked at #7 on the charts in the summer of 1952, when I was not quite four years old. -Joe Offer-
Sugarbush (words and music by Josef Marais
Oh, we never not gonna go home! We won't go, we won't go! Oh, we never not gonna go phone, 'Cause mother isn't home!
Oh, Sugarbush, I love you so, I will never let you go So don't let your mother know Sugarbush, I love you so
Sugarbush, what can I do Mother's not so pleased with you Promise me you will be true And I'll come along with you
Oh, we never not gonna go home! We won't go, we won't go! Oh, we never not gonna go phone, 'Cause mother isn't home!
Sugarbush come dance with me And let the other fellows be Just dance the Polka merrily Sugarbush come dance with me
Oh, we never not gonna go home! We won't go, we won't go! Oh, we never not gonna go phone, 'Cause mother isn't home!
Oh, chocolate, you are so sweet Yes, yes you, I'd like to eat If I do, oh, what a treat! Chocolate, you are so sweet
Oh, Sugarbush, I love you so, And I will never let you go Now don't let my mother know Sugarbush, I love you so
