Sugar
Frank Trumbauer and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

When my sugar walks down the street
All the little birdies go tweet, tweet, tweet.
And in the evening when the sun goes down
It's never dark when she's around

She's so affectionate and I'll say this
That when she kisses me I sure stay kissed
When my sugar walks down the street
The little birdies go tweet tweet tweet.

According to Jean Pierre Lion’s biography and discography of Bix, the cornet solo here was not Bix. I don’t think it sounds like Bix either.

Atticus Jazz

The cornet solo is clearly not by Bix. Nevertheless, there are two cornet players on this recording. You can hear Bix behind Secrest in the ending of the song. Listen carefully...

Who you gonna believe? The experts or the guy who was there, Bill Rank? He insisted it was Bix. Bix got dragged away from tying one on the day before he had to join Whiteman.

@tenorsfan I believe my own ears. It doesn’t sound like Bix.
