When the shadows start to creep
And the birds are all asleep
That's when you'll see
Somebody and me
Walking thru a quiet little lane
To a field of sugar cane
It may not be rosy
Still, it's nice and cozy
(I mean it) What a wonderful feelin'
More than I can explain
When I'm walkin' with my sweetness
Down among the sugar cane
Little stars are winkin'
Winkin' down to us from above
We know what they be thinkin'
While we're makin' love, they're jealous
There'll be oodles of kisses
More than I can explain
When I'm walkin' with my sweetness
Down among the sugar cane
You can always find me where
Sweetness always fills the air
Just strollin' long
And singin' a song nightly
With my sugar hand in hand
Anyone can understand
The reason why I'm happy
Who wouldn't be happy
(I mean it) What a wonderful feelin'
More than I can explain
When I'm walkin' with my sweetness
Down among the sugar cane
Little stars are winkin'
Winkin' down to us from above
We know what they be thinkin'
While we're makin' love, they're jealous
There'll be oodles of kisses
More than I can explain
When I'm walkin' with my sweetness
Down among the sugar cane
