Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walkin' down the street
Boy, she is sweet
From her head to her feet
Sugar-sugar
Sugar-sugar
Sugar-sugar
Uh-huh, huh, huh
Gold is red
And the fire was blue
Sugar's sweet
And so are you
Sugar-sugar
Sugar-sugar
Sugar-sugar
Come, go home with me
Uh-huh, huh, huh
Well, best little dancer
In this town
You rock n' roll
'Till the sun goes down
Sugar-sugar
Sugar-sugar
Sugar-sugar
Come, go home with me
Uh-huh, huh, huh
(sax & instrumental)
When I see you
Comin' down the street
My knees start knockin'
And my heart skips a beat
Sugar-sugar
Sugar-sugar
Sugar-sugar
Come, go home with me
Um-hm-hm
I like the way you look
And the way you walk
The way you look
And the way you talk
Sugar-sugar

Come, go home with me
A-huh, huh, huh
A-huh, huh, huh
Oh, yes
Oh, yeah
A-huh, uh-huh
FADES-
Oooh, yeah

The chorus repeats the refrain "Sugar-sugar" and repeatedly invites the girl to "come, go home with me." The second verse compares the girl to gold and fire, noting that she is just as sweet as sugar.
The second chorus of the song praises the girl as the "best little dancer" in town, suggesting that she and the singer enjoy dancing together.

The final verse of the song notes how the singer feels when he sees the girl coming down the street, saying that his heart skips a beat and his knees start knocking. The song ends with a final repetition of the chorus and fades out with the music.
Overall, "Sugar Sugar" is a sweet and romantic song that captures the spirit of early doo-wop music with its straightforward lyrics and catchy melodies.
