Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wondering when it’s gonna stop
House boy knows that he’s doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight.

Chorus.

Ah get along, brown sugar
How come you taste so good, baby
Ah got me feeling now, brown sugar
Just like a black girl should.

I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I’m no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight.

Chorus.
