Does the phrase have a different connotation in the UK? In the US, it is just a term of endearment, or certainly was at the time the song was written. And we spell it sugar booger. A “bugger” would be considered naughty, though. That connotation is the same in both countries.

I agree as well, Joe. It’s definitely John and George singing together. If there’s any doubt, just listen to the word ‘pappie’. That’s 100% George.

One interview with one of the Beatles had them really surprised that Carl Perkins used the phrase “sugar bugger” in the song; as it was so naughty at the time. It means the girl had a sweet rump.

Agreed with Gero, it’s definitely George singing the harmony over John’s lead, and Paul singing the middle part

I’m pretty sure it’s George singing the harmony in the verses over John’s lead, not Paul

The third line first verse of these song is “I’ve got to confess”
The first and second lines of the third and fourth verses should read
“Just wait till I…straighten my tie”
Hope this is of some help.
