lyrics
Girls and boys from East to West
Are seated at their dinner desk
Hungry for a certain sound
Their little ears search all around
When a parent's voice is heard
They smile and swallow ev'ry word
Ev'ry word that they can reach
Ev'ry little part of speech
Words empower, words enable
Words learned at the supper table
Words to eat and then repeat
Those words, those words so strong, so sweet
PLEASE PASS THE SUGAR, THE SUGAR, THE SUGAR
PLEASE PASS THE SUGAR, THE SUGAR TO ME
AFTER I'VE LEARNED HOW TO PASS SUGAR TOO
I'LL PASS THE SUGAR, THE SUGAR TO YOU
Girls and boys from North to South
Delicious words are in their mouth
Words that nourish and excite
A very hungry appetite
What words will they learn today?
What words will their parents say?
Will the words lead to success?
Will the words bring happiness?
Words empower, words enable
Words learned at the supper table
Words to eat and then repeat
Those words, those words so strong, so sweet
PLEASE PASS THE SUGAR, THE SUGAR, THE SUGAR
PLEASE PASS THE SUGAR, THE SUGAR TO ME
AFTER I'VE LEARNED HOW TO PASS SUGAR TOO
I'LL PASS THE SUGAR, THE SUGAR TO YOU
