[Verse 1]
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women, just around midnight
[Chorus]
Ah, brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should
[Verse 2]
Drums beating cold english blood runs hot
Lady of the house wondering where it's going to stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You should a heard him just around midnight
[Chorus][x2]
[Verse 3]
I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her girlfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no school boy but I know what i like
You should have heard me just around midnight
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, whew
How come you... how come you taste so good?
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, whew
Just... just like a black girl should
