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

When my sugar walks down the street
Whenever my beloved walks in public
All the little birdies go tweet, tweet, tweet.
Everything around me feels happy and excited when she walks by
And in the evening when the sun goes down
Even as darkness descends
It's never dark when she's around
The light she brings fills every corner of my world
She's so affectionate and I'll say this
She shows me love and care like nobody else can
That when she kisses me I sure stay kissed
Her kisses linger and have a lasting effect on me
When my sugar walks down the street
Every time my darling takes a stroll
The little birdies go tweet tweet tweet.
Even the birds can't help but express their joy when they see her

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.
