Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When my sugar walks down the street
All the little birdies go, tweet, tweet, tweet
And in the evening, when the sun goes down
It's never dark when he's around
He's so affectionate, and I'll say this
That when he kisses me, I'll sure stay kissed
[Verse 2]
When my sugar walks down the street
The little birdies go, tweet, tweet, tweet
[Verse 3]
When my sugar walks down the street
All the little birdies go, tweet, tweet, tweet
And in the evening, when the sun goes down
It's never dark, when he's around
He's so affectionate, and I'll say this
That when he kisses me, boy, I'll sure stay kissed
[Verse 4]
When my sugar walks down the street
When my sugar walks down the street
Everything is all green
When my sugar walks down the street
Written by: Gene Austin, Irving Mills, Jimmy McHugh
