[Verse 1]
Way down yonder in the tall grass
A little bitty woman named Sassafras
A wiggle in her walk and a tickle in her talk
And a funny way of puttin' on the class
[Verse 2]
They say white lightning's in a jar
Clear as water but it's hot as fire
That may be true but I'm tellin' you
A glass can't hold Sassafras
[Chorus]
So tell all the neighborhood boys
I'm the one that's makin' all the noise
And a little cup of tea
Knocked the heart out of me
And that cup of tea was Sassafras
[Verse 3]
First time I kissed her in the city park
Bells started ringin', and it got dark
The army and the navy couldn't keep the people calm
They thought it was a hydrogen bomb
[Verse 4]
Next day I kissed her in the swimmin' hole
I kissed her in the water and dontcha know
The steam from the water rose high in the sky
And the old swimmin' hole went dry
[Chorus]
So tell all the neighborhood boys
I'm the one that's makin' all the noise
'Cause a little cup of tea
Knocked the heart out of me
And that cup of tea was Sassafras
[Verse 5]
I'm very sorry gotta go now
Me and my baby gonna take a vow
Gonna get married, gonna raise a family
Gonna raise 'em on Sassafras tea
[Chorus]
So tell all the neighborhood boys
I'm the one that's makin' all the noise
'Cause a little cup of tea
Knocked the heart out of me
And that cup of tea was Sassafras
[Outro]
A little cup of tea
Knocked the heart out of me
And that cup of tea was Sassafras
