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, [bad word] you taste so good
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should
 [bad word] beatin' cold, English [bad word] 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, [bad word] you taste so good
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should

Brown Sugar, [bad word] 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 school boy but I know what I like
You should have heard them just around midnight

Brown Sugar, [bad word] you taste so good
Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should

I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo! [bad word] you, [bad word] you dance so good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!
Just like a, just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!
