  • Now I'm not the type to worry
    Especially if it's concerning my health
    Oh no, I'd never worry
    I'd much rather do something else
    I'm changing my point of view
    Ever since I caught me the sugar blues

    Oh that sugar
    It adds a little sweetness in your life
    Oh sugar
    Won't you add a little sweetness to my life
    You see I'm changing my point of view
    Ever since I caught me the sugar blues

    See I'm changing my point of view
    Ever since I caught me the sugar blues
    Yes, I'm changing my point of view
    Ever since I got me the sugar blues
    You see I'm changing my point of view
    Ever since I caught me,
    Ever since I caught me the sugar blues
    Oh yes
    I need me a sugar beet
    I'm not the type that would complain
    Just give me sugar cane
    Give me
    Gimme
    Gimme
    Gimme
