Sugar and spice and everything nice song lyrics

Sugar and spice, yeah (sugar and spice)
And everything nice (everything nice)
Sugar and spice, yeah (sugar and spice)

Give me some more of your loving
Give me some more of your kissing
You're like a sugar dumpling 'cause you're so nice

Oh, you're like sugar and spice
You are so nice, you're sugar and spice
(Sugar and spice and everything nice)

Give me some more of your sweet love
Give me some more of your loving
Give me some more and I will make you mine, all mine
Got to make you mine, all mine
Got to say the word, you're mine, all mine

(..)

When I'm away from you, dear
Can't stay away from you, dear
You're like a sugar dumpling 'cause you're so nice

Oh, you're like sugar and spice
Because you're so nice
You're sugar and spice (sugar and spice)
Baby, you're sugar and spice (and everything nice)
Whoo-ooi, whoo-ooi

Oh, you're so nice, you're sugar and spice, yeah
Whoo-ooh, you're so nice

You give to me sweet, sweet loving
You're like a sugar dumpling
You walk like a duck and you're fit to flock
Whoo-ooi, you're fit to flock, hmm-hmm-hmm

Give me some more of your loving
Give me some more of your kissing
'Cause you're a sugar dumpling and I wanna make you mine
Oh, baby, you're so nice
You're sugar and spice (sugar and spice) whoo-ooi
You're sugar and spice (sugar and spice)
You're so nice, you're so nice (and everything nice)
You're sugar and spice (sugar and spice)
Hmm-hmm and everything nice (everything nice)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (sugar and spice)

When I'm with you, my baby
I don't wanna leave you, honey
You give to me such sweet, sweet loving all the time
Oh, you love me all the time and you're mine
Hmm, I said you're min, oh and I am yours

Sugar and spice and all things nice
Kisses sweeter than wine
Sugar and spice and all things nice
You know that little girl is mine

Everybody stops and stares at my baby
When she's walking down the street
People passing by just look at my baby
'Cause my baby looks so sweet, you know she's

Sugar and spice and all things nice
Kisses sweeter than wine
Sugar and spice and all things nice
You know that little girl is mine

Every time we kiss I get that feeling
Every time we simply meet
When I see her smile I get that feeling
'Cause my baby looks so sweet, you know she's

Sugar and spice and all things nice
Kisses sweeter than wine
Sugar and spice and all things nice
You know that little girl is mine

Never ever known a girl so lovely
Sweet enough to want to eat
Everybody's crazy about my baby
'Cause my baby looks so sweet, you know she's

Sugar and spice and all things nice
Kisses sweeter than wine
Sugar and spice and all things nice
You know that little girl is mine

"What Are Little Boys Made Of?" is a popular nursery rhyme dating from the early 19th century. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 821.

The author of the rhyme is uncertain, but may be English poet Robert Southey (1774–1843).

Lyrics[edit]

Here is a representative modern version of the lyrics:

What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
  Snips, snails
  And puppy-dogs' tails
That's what little boys are made of

What are little girls made of?
What are little girls made of?
  Sugar and spice
  And everything nice [or "all things nice"]
That's what little girls are made of[1]

The rhyme appears in many variant forms. For example, other versions may describe boys as being made of "snaps", "frogs",[2][3] "snakes",[4] or "slugs",[5] rather than "snips" as above.

Origins[edit]

In the earliest known versions, the first ingredient for boys is either "snips" or "snigs",[6] the latter being a Cumbrian dialect word for a small eel.

The rhyme sometimes appears as part of a larger work called What Folks Are Made Of or What All the World Is Made Of. Other stanzas describe what babies, young men, young women, sailors, soldiers, nurses, fathers, mothers, old men, old women, and all folks are made of. According to Iona and Peter Opie, this first appears in a manuscript by the English poet Robert Southey (1774–1843), who added the stanzas other than the two below.[1] Though it is not mentioned elsewhere in his works or papers, it is generally agreed to be by him.[7]

The relevant section in the version attributed to Southey was:

What are little boys made of
What are little boys made of
Snips & snails & puppy dogs tails
And such are little boys made of.

What are little girls made of
What are little girls made of
Sugar & spice & all things nice[1]
And such are little girls made of.
