SUGAR IN COFFEE
Sheep's in de meader a' mowin' o' de hay.
De honey's in de bee-gum, so dey all say.
My head's up an' I'se bound to go.
Who'll take sugar in de coffe-o?

I'se de prettiest liddle gal in de country-o.
My mammy an' daddy, dey bofe say so.
I looks in de glass, it don't say no.
So I'll take sugar in de coffee-o.
