Sugar Blues Lyrics

Johnny Mercer Sugar Blues

Just give me the ol' sugar blues
Oh play me that low down melody
Now you can have your St. Louis
Your beboping too
And you can have your hidey hoes
But here's a tune that tickles my toes

Oh! What a string
Just listen to the pip & rhythm
In that refrain
Let me stand here with the brass section rising
Cause it's a chance to do some real harmonizing
When they play the sugar blues

Oh! What a string
Just listen to the pip & rhythm
In that refrain
Let me stand here with the brass section rising
Cause it's a chance to do some real harmonizing
When they play the sugar blues
I said blues
