- Verse:
- I have got a sweetie known
as Susie,
- In the words of Shakespeare
she's a "wow."
- Though all of you May know
her too,
- I'd like to shout right
now:
-
- Chorus:
- If you knew Susie like I
know Susie,
- Oh! Oh! Oh! what a girl!
- There's none so classy as
this fair lassie,
- Oh! Oh! Holy Moses! what
a chassis!
- We went riding, She didn't
balk,
- Back from Youkers, I'm the
one that had to walk!
- If you knew Susie like I
know Susie,
- Oh! Oh! what a girl.
