OFFENSIVE OR JUST SAUCY? THE LYRICS...

Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields

Sold in the market down in New Orleans

Skydog slaver knows he’s doin’ all right

Hear him whip the women just around midnight

Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should

Drums beatin’ cold, English blood runs hot

Lady of the house wonderin’ when it’s gonna stop

House boy knows that he’s doin’ all right

You should have heard him just around midnight

Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good? Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should Brown Sugar, how come you dance so good? Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should

I bet your mama was a tent show queen

And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen

I’m no schoolboy but I know what I like

You should have heard them just around midnight

Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should

I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!

How come you, how come you dance so good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!

Just like a, just like a black girl should

Yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!
