Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We won't go, we won't go
Oh, we never not gonna go phone
'Cause mother isn't home
Oh, sugarbush, I love you so
I will never let you go
So, don't you let your mother know
Sugarbush, what can I do
Mother's not so pleased with you
Promise me you will be true
And I'll come along with you
Oh, we never not gonna go home
We won't go, we won't go
Oh, we never not gonna go phone
'Cause mother isn't home
Sugarbush, come dance with me
And let the other fellahs be
Just dance the Polka merrily
Sugarbush, come dance with me
Oh, we never not gonna go home
We won't go, we won't go
Oh, we never not gonna go phone
'Cause mother isn't home
Oh, chocolate, you are so sweet
Yes, yes you, I'd like to eat
If I do, oh, what a treat
Chocolate, you are so sweet
Oh, sugarbush, I love you so
And I will never let you go
Now, don't you let my mother know
Sugarbush, I love you so
The song "Sugarbush" by Doris Day tells the story of a couple who are deeply in love but cannot express their love openly to others. The chorus, "Sugarbush, I love you so, I will never let you go, so don't you let your mother know" sets up the central conflict of the song. The couple is afraid of the disapproval of their parents and society, so they keep their relationship a secret. The verses of the song are filled with playful and romantic language, such as "Sugarbush, what can I do, mother's not so pleased with you, promise me you will be true, and I'll come along with you". The woman sings to her lover, promising to be faithful and true to him, despite the disapproval of her mother.
The playful language of the song is exemplified by the reference to chocolate in the final verse. The man sings, "oh, chocolate, you are so sweet, yes, yes you, I'd like to eat, if I do, oh, what a treat, chocolate, you are so sweet". This language adds to the playful tone of the song, bringing a sense of lightness and joy to the heavy themes of societal disapproval and secrecy.
Overall, "Sugarbush" is a light-hearted, fun song that subtly touches on deeper themes of love and societal norms. The playful language and catchy tune make it a classic of the pop music genre.

I'm reading Starship Troopers right now and this song is mentioned. What a contrast from the context of the book. 😱
@ima_cube1431
I just discovered this in Starship Troopers as well. It's definitely a really strange choice compared to what happened in the chapter😂

In Starship Troopers the book- I think they choose music 🎶 that will familiar & soothing even in the middle of a crazy battle.
