Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he''''s doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good
Brown sugar just like a young girl should- ah hum oh..
Woo!

Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin'''' where it''''s gonna stop
House boy knows that he''''s doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should, now - yeah!

Ah, get it on brown sugar, how come you taste so good, babe?
Ah, got me feelin'''' now for brown sugar, just like a black girl should yeah

Now I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all here boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I''''m no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, babe?
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should, yeah

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
How come you...how come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
Just like a...just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
