Song Description
"Chemical Reaction" ends in sassy style with the syncopated New Orleans shuffle of the goodtime 'Sugar Daddy' where confectionery becomes the sexual imagery as she sings how "Baby Ruth, Charleston Chew, they satisfied, tried and true/but your candy bar is the best by far" and that she likes "to wait till it's nice and late, and get dessert in bed" and satisfy her "evening sweet tooth". Sexy, sly and soulful, it's an album that definitely passes the litmus test." - Mike Davies, folking.com, UK

Lyrics
Sugar Daddy, words and music by beth wimmer
Morning breaks my breakfast plate is scrambled eggs and bread
coffee and a kiss from you kickstart my day ahead
come dinnertime it's steak and wine, don't need dessert quite yet
i like to wait till it's nice and late, and get dessert in bed
Chorus -
give me some sugar daddy, hold me just right
i have an evening sweet tooth, kiss me goodnight
just need your bit'o'honey, then i'll sleep tight
your lovin' sugar daddy keeps me dreaming bright
Verse -
i used to love that chocolate stuff could never get enough
cakes and pies kept me alive when my day was long and rough
when you held me i felt energy to leave that drug behind
now i know you're lovin' is the best treat i can find
Chorus -
give me some sugar daddy, hold me just right
i have an evening sweet tooth, kiss me goodnight
just need your bit'o'honey, then i'll sleep tight
your lovin' sugar daddy keeps me dreaming bright
Bridge -
Baby Ruth, Charleston Chew, they satisfied, tried and true
but your candy bar is the best by far
nothing compares to you - give me some sugar daddy...
give me some sugar daddy, hold me just right
i have an evening sweet tooth, kiss me goodnight
just need your bit'o'honey, then i'll sleep tight
your lovin' sugar daddy keeps me dreaming bright
your lovin' sugar daddy keeps me dreaming bright
