Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
[Verse 2]
We've both been sound asleep
Wake up, little Susie and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
[Verse 3]
Well, what are we gonna tell your mama?
What we gonna tell your pa?
What we gonna tell our friends when they say
"Ooh, la, la"?
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
[Verse 4]
Well, I told your mama that you'd be in by ten
Oh, Susie baby, looks like we goofed again
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
We gotta go home
[Verse 5]
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Well, what are we gonna tell your mama?
What we gonna tell your pa?
What we gonna tell our friends when they say
"Ooh, la, la"?
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
