[Verse 1]

And I will stroll the merry way and jump the hedges first

And I will drink the clear clean water for to quench my thirst

And I shall watch the ferry boats, and they'll get high

On a bluer ocean against tomorrow's sky


[Pre-Chorus]

And I will never grow so old again

And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain


[Chorus]

Oh-uh-oh, sweet thing, this sweet thing

Eh-eh-yo, sweet thing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, my, my, my, my, my sweet thing


[Verse 2]

And I shall drive my chariot down your streets and cry

"Well, it's me, I'm dynamite, and I don't know why"

And you shall take me strongly in your arms again

And I wonder if I might remember that I ever felt the pain


[Pre-Chorus]

We shall walk and talk in gardens all misty wet

All misty wet with rain down

And I will never, never, never grow so old again


[Chorus]

Oh, oh-uh-oh, you sweet thing

Oh-uh-oh, oh, you sweet thing, you sweet thing

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my


[Verse 3]

And I will raise my hand up into the nighttime sky

And count the stars that's shining in your eye

And just to dig it all and not to wonder, that's just right

And I'll be satisfied not to read in between the lines


[Pre-Chorus]

And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain

And I will never, ever, ever, ever grow so old again


[Chorus]

Oh-uh-oh, sweet thing

Oh-uh-oh-uh-oh, sugar baby

Oh-uh-oh, sweet thing


[Outro]

Sugar baby, sugar baby, sugar baby

What a champagne eye

And your sweet light smile
