Sugar Daddy
Frank Black Lyrics

I've got a sweet tooth
I have a craving for sweets.

For licorice drops and jelly roll.
I specifically crave licorice drops and jelly roll.

Hey Sugar Daddy,
Hey wealthy man,

Hansel needs some sugar in his bowl.
I (as Hansel) need some financial help and attention from you (as Sugar Daddy).

I'll lay out fine china on the linen
I'll prepare a nice setting for us.

And polish up the chrome
I'll make sure everything is spotless.

If you've got some sugar for me,
If you're willing to give me some money,

Sugar Daddy bring it home.
Bring it to me.

Black strap molasses,
I like the dark sweet stuff.

You're my orange blossom honey bear.
You're the one providing me with these things.

Bring me Versace blue jeans
Buy me expensive clothes.

And black designer underwear.
Don't forget about the expensive underwear.

We'll dress up like the disco-dancing jet set
We'll look like rich people having fun in fancy places.

In Milan and Rome.
Specifically Milan and Rome.

If you got some sugar for me,
If you're willing to give me some money,

Sugar Daddy bring it home.
Bring it to me.

Oh the thrill of control,
I like the feeling of power.

Like the rush of rock and roll,
It's just as exciting as listening to music.

It's the sweetest taste I've known,
It's the best feeling I've ever experienced.

If you've got some sugar bring it home
If you're willing to give me some money, bring it to me.

When honey bees go shopping
The bees collecting nectar is similar to me getting what I want from you (as my Sugar Daddy).

It's something to be seen.
It's a spectacle to behold.

They swarm to wild flowers
The bees go to flowers for nectar.

And get nectar for the queen.
The ultimate goal of the bees' nectar collection is to serve their queen.

And every thing you bring me
Anything you give me,

Got me dripping like a honeycomb,
Makes me feel completely satisfied,

And if you've got some sugar for me,
If you're willing to give me some money,

Sugar Daddy bring it home.
Bring it to me.

Oh the thrill of control,
I enjoy being in charge.

Like a Blitzkrieg on the roll,
It's like I'm dominating and winning.

It's the sweetest taste I've known,
It's the most satisfying feeling I've ever experienced.

So if you've got some sugar
If you're willing to give me some money,

Bring it home.
Bring it to me.

Whiskey and french cigarettes,
I enjoy indulging in vices.

A motorbike with high-speed jets,
I like expensive, high-powered things.

A Waterpik, a Cuisinart,
I like fancy appliances and gadgets.

And a hypo-allergenic dog.
I want a dog that won't make me sneeze.

Oh, I want all the luxuries of the modern age,
I want everything money can buy.

And every item on every page
I want all the stuff in the catalog.

In the Lillian Vernon catalogue.
Specifically, the Lillian Vernon catalog.

(spoken) Luther: Oh baby, something's crossed my mind.
A brief dialogue between two people.

I was thinking you'd look so fine
(Luther speaking) I think you would look great in this outfit.

In a velvet dress
(Luther speaking) Specifically, a velvet dress.

With heels and an ermine stole.
(Luther speaking) With high heels and a fur stole.

Hansel: Oh, Luther darling, heaven knows
(Hansel speaking) Luther, I've never worn women's clothes!

I've never put on women's clothes!
(Hansel speaking) I'm not going to dress up as a woman except for that one time with my mother's camisole.

Except for once My mother's camisole.
(Hansel speaking) I only wore women's clothing once, and that was a camisole that belonged to my mother.

So you think only a woman
(Hansel speaking) You believe only a woman can truly love a man?

Can truly love a man.
(Hansel speaking) You believe I have to wear women's clothing to show my love for you?

Then you buy me the dress
(Hansel speaking) If you want me to dress up like a woman, then you buy me the dress.

I'll be more woman than a man like you can stand.
(Hansel speaking) I'll do it, and I'll be so good at it that it will intimidate you.

I'll be your Venus on a chocolate clam shell
(Hansel speaking) I'll be your goddess, sitting on a chocolate clam shell.

Rising on a sea of marshmallow foam,
(Hansel speaking) Sitting on a sea of marshmallow foam.

And if you've got some sugar for me,
If you're willing to give me some money,

Sugar Daddy, bring it home.
Bring it to me.

It's our tradition to control,
It's our way of life to maintain power.

Like Erich Honecker and Helmut Kohl,
Like these politicians who held onto power for a long time.

From the Ukraine to the Rhone.
From one country to another.

Sweet home uber alles,
My home is the best, no matter what.

Lord, I'm coming home.
(spoken) I'm coming back to my lavish lifestyle.

So come on, Sugar Daddy, bring me home.
Please come back and give me money, Sugar Daddy.
