Tired of bein’ lonely, tired of bein’ blue,
I wished I had some good man, to tell my troubles to.
Seem like the whole world’s wrong, since my man’s been gone.
I need a little sugar in my bowl,
I need a little hot dog, on my roll,
I can stand a bit of lovin’, oh so bad,
I feel so funny, I feel so sad.
I need a little steam-heat, on my floor,
Maybe I can fix things up, so they’ll go.
What’s the matter, hard papa, come on and save you mama’s soul,
‘Cause I need a little sugar, in my bowl, doggone it,
I need some sugar in my bowl.
I need a little sugar, in my bowl,
I need a little hot dog, between my rolls.
You gettin’ different, I’ve been told,
Move your finger, drop something in my bowl.
I need a little steam-heat on my floor,
Maybe I can fix things up, so they’ll go.
Get off your knees, I can’t see what you’re drivin’ at !
It’s dark down there ! Looks like a snake !
Come on here and drop somethin’ here in my bowl,
Stop your foolin’, and drop somethin’, in my bowl.
