Susie, little Susie, what makes you be so mean?
    You have got a dirty face and you won't keep it clean.

It started about six years ago the stork I found had left
A bouncing little baby girl who was sweeter than the rest.
You made your momma buy you things, like dungarees and guns.
You nearly drove us crazy with things you thought were fun.

    Susie, little Susie, what makes you be so mean?
    You have got a dirty face and you won't keep it clean.

We went to visit your grandma, who's country as can be.
We put your best clothes on you, for all of them to see.
You stole your poor old grandma's snuff to play out in the sand,
You snuck beneath her window and threw it in the fan.

    Susie, little Susie, what makes you be so mean?
    You have got a dirty face and you won't keep it clean.

Grandma had two Persian cats that meant the world to her,
She put them on a pillow to listen to them purr.
You asked Grandma to play with them, she said that would be fine.
You tied their tails together, and hung them on the line.

    Susie, little Susie, what makes you be so mean?
    You have got a dirty face and you won't keep it clean.

The little dollie you played with, the doggie tore apart.
It made you very angry, it broke your little heart.
You put shaving cream on the doggie's face, it made your momma sad
Because a neighbor shot it, they thought it had gone mad.

    Susie, little Susie, what makes you be so mean?
    You have got a dirty face and you won't keep it clean.
