The Everly Brothers Wake Up Little Susie

Wake up, little Susie, wake up

Wake up, little Susie, wake up

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

Well, what are we gonna tell your Mama

What are we gonna tell your Pa?

What are we gonna tell our friends

When they say, "Ooh la la!"

Wake up, little Susie

Wake up, little Susie

Well, I told your Mama that you'd be in by ten

Well, Susie baby, looks like we goofed again

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

Well, what are we gonna tell your Ma-ma

What are we gonna tell your Pa?

What are we gonna tell our friends

When they say, "Ooh la la!"

Wake up, little Susie

Wake up, little Susie

Wake up, little Susie
