When it's sugarcane time
Long around about June
I'll be walkin' with sugar
'Neath the old sugar moon

Gonna drop her a line
To expect me soon
Say I'm cravin' some sugar
'Neath the old sugar moon

I can see her right now
She'll get the calendar down
Scratch a circle around
The day we're altar bound

When it's sugarcane time
Long around about June
Wedding bells will be chimin'
'Neath the old sugar moon

(Instrumental Break)

When the sugar moon shines
Long around about June
I'll be walkin' with sugar
'Neath the old sugar moon

All the kisses I've missed
I'll be gettin' 'em soon
Sugar kisses from sugar
'Neath the old sugar moon

I'm a-dreamin' sweet dreams
Of all the lovin' I'll get
When I get back to my pet
Oh, lordy, how I'll fret

Till it's sugarcane time
Long around about June
I'll be walkin' with sugar
'Neath the old sugar moon
