PRETTY SUGAR MAMA

The sap is dripping off the maple leaves.
The sap is dripping off the maple leaves.
There’s sweetness dripping on the street.
The sap is dripping off the maple leaves.

But there ain’t no sugar for me, my darlin,’ there ain’t no sugar for me.
There ain’t no sugar for me, my darlin,’ when you ain't here with me.
There ain’t no sugar for me, my darlin,’ there ain’t no sugar for me.
No sugar for me.
Pretty sugar mama, come on back to me.

Sugar in my coffee, honey in my tea.
Sugar in my coffee, honey in my tea.
Two sugar cubes, better make it three.
Sugar in my coffee, honey in my tea.

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker man,
Back me a cake as fast as you can.
I get to worryin’ when she gone too long.
There’s a fly in my honey and my world’s gone wrong.
There’s a fly in my honey and my world’s gone wrong.

Put a pie in the window and a flower by the door.
Put a pie in the window and a flower by the door.
I hope you want to come back for more.
Put a pie in the window and a flower by the door.
