Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
She's my neighbor, fill my cup
I'll bet you, baby, she can fill it up
She'll put the sugar on my tongue
Will she gimme, gimme, gimme some?
Is she gonna put sugar on my tongue?
Is she gonna gimme, gimme, gimme some?
She'll put it right there on my tongue
Put it right there on my tongue

Sweet, sweet, lover, lover
Never, never, never find another
To put sugar on my tongue
Gimme, gimme, gimme some
Is she gonna put sugar on my tongue?
Is she gonna gimme, gimme, gimme some?
She'll put it right there on my tongue
Put it right there on my tongue

I've been waiting years and years
Finally I see that you appear
My friends are here, and they ask of me
"Is this the time that we're gonna see her
Put the sugar on your tongue?"

Is she gonna put sugar on my tongue?
Is she gonna put sugar on my tongue?
Is she gonna gimme, gimme some?
She'll put it right there on my tongue
Put it right there on my tongue
Sugar, sugar on my tongue
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
La-la-la-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Talking Heads

Ground-breaking rock band Talking Heads is arguably one of the most influential bands of all time. Spearheaded by their slightly crazy lead singer David Byrne, they were at the forefront of the New Wave movement.

The band was formed in 1974 by Byrne and drummer Chris Frantz. Frantz’s then-girlfriend-later-wife Tina Weymouth was quickly recruited to play bass. After a few recordings and performances, guitarist/keyboardist Jerry Harrison was hired to round out the group.

Their first album, Talking 77, was appropriately released in 1977. It quickly received critical acclaim.
