[Chorus]
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

[Verse 2]
Well, what are we gonna tell your mama?
What are we gonna tell your pa?
What are we gonna tell all our friends
When they say, "Ooh la la"

[Chorus]
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

[Verse 3]
Well, I told your mama that
You'd be in by ten
Well, Susie, baby
Looks like we goofed again
