Brown Sugar
Dull girl say she found her cut-off jeans
Sewn in the market down in New Orleans
This God-old sleazer know he's doing alright
Hear him with the women just around midnight
...
Drums beating cold, English blood runs hot
Lady of the house - honey where it's gonna stop?
How far? - I knows that he's doing alright
...
Ah, get on, brown sugar, how come you taste so good, yeah?
Ah, got to tell ya 'bout, the brown sugar
Just like a black girl should, yeah
Now, I bet your mama was a chess show queen
And all your boyfriends were sweet sixteen
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver know he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight
...
Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
...
Ah, get on, brown sugar, how come you taste so good, yeah?
Ah, got me craving the, the brown sugar
Just like a black girl should, yeah
...
Nah, I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I really dig my lyrics, especially the relocated comma in "Drums beating cold, English blood runs hot" (that's the way Mick sings it). A MUCH better contrast, as who wants to sing about 'cold English blood' anyway? Ah, the days of AM radio.
F***ed up slave ship made of cottage cheese
Fell into a greasy vat of kidney beans.
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans.
Go, go, slave ship on forgotten fields
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Gold Coast slave s*** bound for cock and fields
Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Hear him with the woman just around midnight.
Hear him whip the woman just around midnight.
Heart beats cold, but my blood runs hot
Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
How come you dance so good?
How come you taste so good?
How come your den's so dirty?
How come you taste so good?
I bet your mama had engagement rings
I bet your mama was a Cajun Queen
I bet your mama was a Cajun Queen,
And all her boyfriends had covid-19
I bet your mama was a Cajun Queen,
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I bet your momma was a Cheshire queen.
i bet your momma was a Tent Show queen.
I bet your momma was a tangerine
I bet your momma was a Tent Show queen
I bet your momma was a trash hall queen.
I bet your momma was a tent show queen.
I bet your momma was a treasure queen.
I bet your momma was a tent show queen.
I bet your momma was attention queen.
I bet your momma was a tent show queen.
I'll bet your mama was a cheshire queen.
I bet your mama was a tent show queen.

Just like a young girl should
Just like a yum-yum should
