I NEED A LITTLE SUGAR IN MY BOWL 

WRITERS CHARLIE SMALLS, J. BRYMN, WILLIAMS 

                                                                



Tired of bein' lonely, tired of bein' blue, 

I wished I had some good man, to tell my troubles to 

Seem like the whole world's wrong, since my man's been gone 

I need a little sugar in my bowl, 

I need a little hot dog, on my roll 

I can stand a bit of lovin', oh so bad, 

I feel so funny, I feel so sad 

I need a little steam-heat, on my floor, 

Maybe I can fix things up, so they'll go 

What's the matter, hard papa, come on and save you mama's soul 

'Cause I need a little sugar, in my bowl, doggone it, 

I need a little sugar in my bowl 

I need a little sugar, in my bowl, 

I need a little hot dog, between my rolls 

You gettin' different, I've been told, 

move your finger, drop something in my bowl 

I need a little steam-heat on my floor, 

Maybe I can fix things up, so they'll go 

(spoken: Get off your knees, I can't see what you're drivin' at! 

It's dark down there! 

Looks like a snake! C'mon here and drop somethin' here in my bowl, 

stop your foolin', and drop somethin', in my bowl)
