"Sugar Bush" is a popular song composed by Fred Michel in 1930. It was translated into English by Josef Marais. Michel sold the rights to Polliacks for a small sum of money. The song is based on a traditional South-African song, "Suikerbossie" ("Sugar Bush" in Afrikaans).

A version recorded as a duet by Doris Day and Frankie Laine was the best-known recording, and appeared on the first UK Singles Chart in November 1952, peaking at number 8 in a total chart run of eight weeks. A version by South African singer Eve Boswell was also recorded in the United Kingdom.
