about

Sometimes you write something that's completely not serious. For some reason this is the one that gets requests. It also offers me a chance to embarrass the barista or just say something awkward if I'm playing at a coffee house by suggesting "sugar" can be gotten at the counter (in the form of cupcakes, naturally)

lyrics

I Need a Sugar Mama
To take care of me
And if I had a sugar mama
Life would be so sweet

Yeah a nice old sugar mama
That would be a treat
Some high class spendthrift biddy
That’d be right about my speed

Because when it comes down to it
Love’s not what I need
I just need to be taken care of
So I can do as I please

I need a Sugar Mama
Oh, honey please
I gots myself a real sweet tooth
That I gots to feed

Because when it comes down to it
Love’s not what I need
Just give me a short bread cookie
To go with my coffee

Because when it comes down to it
Love’s not what I need
I want to take a bite
Of a nice ripe peach

I’ll take a hot vanilla
And a chocolate biscotti
But I really need my Sugar Mama
I really want my sweets

I Need a Sugar Mama
To take care of me
And if I had a sugar mama
Life would be so sweet

Life would be so sweet
Life would be so sweet…
