WHEN I TAKE MY SUGAR TO TEA
By: Sammy Fain, Irving Kahal, Pierre Norman
Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole
Key: F

 4  -3  -1  -1 -1* -1 -1* 2
When I take my su-gar to tea, 
 4  -3   -1  -1  -1*  -1  -1* 2
all the boys are jeal-ous of me,
   4   4* -5 -5  -5   5   -3*  -3   5    -3*
'Cause I nev-er take her where the gang goes,
 -2  3  -3  -3 3  -2  3  -2
When I take my su-gar to tea.

 4 -3 -1  -1 -1* -1   -1*   2
I'm a row-dy dow-dy, that's me, 
 4   -3  -1  -1 -1* -1   -1*    2
she's a high hat ba-by, that's she,
4  4* -5 -5  -5   5   -3*  -3   5    -3*
So I nev-er take her where the gang goes,
 -2  3  -3  -3 3  -2  3  -2
When I take my su-gar to tea.

-2  3  -3* -2  3  -3*  -5
Ev-‘ry Sun-day af-ter-noon, 
5* -3*  3 -2  3    3    3
we for-get a-bout our cares,
-3   4   1   -1  -2  3   -3
Rub-bing el-bows at the Ritz, 
 3*    3*   3   -2    4
with those mil-lion-aires.

When I take my sug-ar to tea, 
I'm as ritzy as I can be,
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.

Every Sunday afternoon, 
we forget about those cares,
Rubbing elbows at the Ritz, 
with those zillionaires.
When I take my sugar to tea, 
I'm as ritzy as I can be,
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take, take my sugar to tea.
