From Wide Prairie liner notes:

Since we first met, the two of us remembered certain songs from our childhood. This tune was a big hit for The McGuire Sisters in the late Fifties. Linda and myself would sing this as a party piece, splitting into the melody and harmony to amuse and amaze our friends and relatives. Lee Perry produced the backing track in Kingston, Jamaica, at Black Ark Studios.

Lyrics

Sugar in the morning

Sugar in the evening

Sugar at suppertime

Be my little sugar and love me all the time

Honey in the morning

Honey in the evening

Honey at suppertime

You'll be my little honey and love me all the time

Put your arms around me

And swear by the stars above (Uh-Huh)

You'll be mine forever in a heaven of love

Sugar in the morning

Sugar in the evening

Sugar at suppertime

Be my little sugar and love me all the time

Ooh-Hoo, Ooh-Hoo

Sugar in the morning

Sugar in the evening

Sugar at suppertime

Be my little sugar and love me all the time

Honey in the morning

Honey in the evening

Honey at suppertime

You'll be my little honey and love me all the time

So, put your arms around me...

Hello, just wondering if ican use the song ‘sugar time’ in an advertising jingle, with on or two word changes. We went to Paul’s recent show at Gold Coast Australia. Amazing, wonderful night for me and Shirl. Cheers Michael Tarbuck ( ex Heswall lad)
