[Verse 1]
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight

[Chorus]
Brown sugar how come you taste so good
Brown sugar just like a young man should
Ooh, yeah!

[Verse 2]
Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You shoulda heard em just around midnight

[Chorus]
Brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar just like a young man
Just like a young man

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
Ah, get down on brown, brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
Get down on your knees brown sugar, just like a young man should

[Verse 3]
Ah I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight

[Chorus]
Brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, come down brown sugar, just like a young girl should, yeah

[Outro]
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
How come you, how come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
Just like a, just like a young girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!

[Audience Applause]

Merci, merci, au revoir!

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
