We both fell sound asleep; wake up, little Susie, and weep.

The movie's over, it's four o'clock and we're in trouble deep.

G               A     G                 A

Wake up, little Susie!  Wake up, little Susie!

 

A

What are you gonna tell your mama?  What you gonna tell your pa?

A

What are you gonna tell our friends when they say:  "Ooo-la-la!"?

Wake up, little Susie!  Wake up, little Susie!

Wake up, little Susie!  Wake up, little Susie!  We gotta go home!

 

Wake up, little Susie, wake up!

Wake up, little Susie, wake up!

The movie wasn't so hot, It didn't have much of a plot.

We fell asleep; our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot!

Wake up, little Susie!  Wake up, little Susie!

 

What are you gonna tell your mama?  What you gonna tell your pa?

What are you gonna tell our friends when they say:  "Ooo-la-la!"?

Wake up, little Susie!  Wake up, little Susie!
