Sugar in the bowl, sugar in the bowl
All dressed up saying ""bless my soul""
Nobody knows what they like to feel old
Down in the sugar in the bowl
Sugar in the bowl is a mighty fine town
Nothing goes up and the money goes round
Nobody knows what they like to feel down, down in the sugar in the bowl
Yeah, down in the sugar in the bowl
There is a girl with a turned up nose
Mighty fine freckles and her painted toes
The boys all whistle wherever she goes
Down in the sugar in the bowl
There is a man with a luminous tie
A big round face and a gleam in his eye
Everybody laughs when he passes by
Down in the sugar in the bowl
Sugar in the bowl, sugar in the bowl
All dressed up saying ""bless my soul""
Nobody knows what they like to feel old
Down in the sugar in the bowl
Sugar in the bowl is a mighty fine town
Nothing goes up and the money goes round
Nobody knows what they like to feel down, down in the sugar in the bowl
Yeah, down in the sugar in the bowl
Now there is a man with a broken leg
He can't dance but he's singing instead
Everybody knows what it's like to get ahead
Down in the sugar in the bowl
There is a girl with a turned up nose
Mighty fine freckles and her painted toes
The boys all whistle wherever she goes
Down in the sugar in the bowl
Sugar in the bowl, sugar in the bowl
I can't stop saying ""bless my soul""
Nobody knows what they like to feel old
Down in the sugar in the bowl
Sugar in the bowl is a mighty fine town
Nothing goes up and the money goes round
Nobody knows what they like to feel down, down in the sugar in the bowl
Yeah, down in the sugar in the bowl
Sugar in the bowl, sugar in the bowl
I can't stop saying ""bless my soul""
Nobody knows what they like to feel old
Down in the sugar in the bowl
Sugar in the bowl is a mighty fine town
Nothing goes up and the money goes round
Nobody knows what they like to feel down, down in the sugar in the bowl
Yeah, down in the sugar in the bowl
Yeah, down in the sugar in the bowl
Down in the sugar in the bowl
