Steely Dan - Little With Sugar

I remember Christmas morning back in 1954
When we moved her to Mount Savage as if it mattered anymore
Mama always said
How the air can clear her head

We were colder and much higher than we ever were before
I recall her tailored jersey and the flowers that she wore
Years ago I tried to tell her
What was in my heart
But she was part of the city

(She took a little with sugar) She took a little with sugar
(She took the money from my old man) She took the money from my old man
(She took a little with sugar) Ohhhh yes she did
(She took the money from my old man)

All the years that she was with us you could count them on one hand
I was taken with her showboat style, but too young to understand
She was all alone
Ahead of her time
She was first generation

(She took a little with sugar) She took a little with sugar
(She took the money from my old man) She took the money from my old man
(She took a little with sugar) Ohhhh yes she did
(She took the money from my old man)

(Took a little with sugar)
(She took a little with sugar)
(She took a little with sugar)
(She took a little with sugar) She took the money from my old man
(She took the money from my old man) She took a little with sugar
(She took the money from my old man) Ohhhh, She took the money from my old man
(She took the money from my old man) Ohhhh yes she did
(She took the money from my old man) I said
(She took a little with sugar) She took a little with sugar
(She took a little with sugar) Ohhhh, she took the money from my old man
(She took a little with sugar) Ohhhh yes she did
(She took a little with sugar) She took the money from my old man
(She took the money from my old man) The money from my old man
(She took the money from my old man) Ohhhh yes she did
(She took the money from my old man) She took a little with sugar
(She took the money from my old man) Ohhhhhhhh

(She took a little with sugar)
(She took a little with sugar)
(She took a little with sugar)
(She took a little with sugar) Money from my old man
(She took the money from my old man) She took a little with sugar
(She took the money from my old man) She took the money from my old man
