INTRO: B

VERSE:
E
I've got a sweet tooth
                             B
for licorice drops and jelly roll,
E
Hey sugar daddy,
                                 B
Hansel needs some sugar in his bowl.
F#
I'll lay out fine china on the linen
    E
And polish up the chrome
    B                  G#            E
and if you've got some sugar for me,
      F#              B
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.

E
Black strap molasses,
                                B
you're my orange blossom honey bear.
E
Bring me Versace blue jeans
                    B
black designer underwear.
F#
We'll dress up like the disco-dancing
E
Jetset in Milan and Rome.
B                  G#             E
If you've got some sugar for me,
      F#              B*
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.


CHORUS:
       F#           B
Oh the thrill of control,
         F#               B
Like the rush of rock and roll,
       G#                         C#
Is the sweetest taste that I have known, oh yeah
E               F#             B
If you got some sugar bring it home.


E
When honey bees go shopping
                     B
It's something to be seen
E
They swarm to wild flowers
                        B
And get nectar for the queen
F#
And everything you bring me
E
Got me dripping like honeycomb
B                  G#           E
If you've got some sugar for me,
      F#              B*
Sugar Daddy, bring it home


CHORUS:
       F#           B
Oh the thrill of control,
         F#               B
Like the rush of rock and roll,
       G#                       C#
Is the sweetest taste that I've known, oh yeah
E               F#             B
If you got some sugar bring it home.
   E              F#              B
Oh come on, Sugar Daddy, bring it home!


Bridge:
G#
Whiskey and French cigarettes
  C#
a motorbike with high-speed jets
  E           F#
a Waterpik, a Cuisinart
      B
and a hypo-allergenic dog
       G#
I want all the luxuries of the modern age
C#
Every item on every page
       E       F#     B
In the Lillian Vernon catalogue


Luther & Hedwig Speak: (strum each chord once. Play as barre chords: E on 7th fret, etc)
G#m
     Oh baby, something's crossed my mind
C#m
     And I was thinking you'd look so fine
     E                 F#
In a velvet dress with heels
              B
And an ermine stole.
G#m
     Oh, Luther darling, heaven knows
C#m
     I've never put on women's clothes
E
Except for once
   F#           B
My mother's camisole.

                    E
So you think only a woman
                 B
can truly love a man
     E
Then you buy me the dress I'll be more woman
                        B
than a man like you can stand.
F#
I'll be your Venus on a chocolate clamshell
E
rising on a marshmallow foam
B                  G#           E
If you've got some sugar for me,
      F#              B
Sugar Daddy, bring it home   (yeee-ha)

            F#           B
It's our tradition to control,
     F#                        B
like Erich Honecker and Helmut Kohl,
         G#             C#
From the Ukraine to the Rhone, oh yeah
E               F#
Sweet home uber alles,
           G#
I'm coming home

   E              F#              B             E B
Oh come on, Sugar Daddy, bring me home
