lyrics

I'm climbing up a mountain of sugar
Got to get to the top of that hill
I need a sweet taste, I need it I do
Cos I've swallowed a bitter pill

Sugar Hill doo wah doo wah
Sugar Hill doo wah
Sugar Hill doo wah doo wah
Sugar Hill doo wah

I'm halfway there, looking up at the top
I look down and I see where I've been
Look back again for a taste of the top
It's the best sight I've ever seen

Sugar Hill doo wah doo wah
Sugar Hill doo wah
Sugar Hill doo wah doo wah
Sugar Hill doo wah

Ain't nothing sweet as a Sugar Hill, not anywhere
You just can't beat a Sugar Hill
I hope I meet you there, oh

I'm at the top of the mountain of sugar
Up in the air so high
Taking the air at the top of the mountain
I'm tasting the blue of the sky

Sugar Hill doo wah doo wah
Sugar Hill doo wah
Sugar Hill doo wah doo wah
Sugar Hill doo wah
