Wake up little Susie, Wake up
Wake up little Susie, Wake up
We’ve both been sound asleep
Wake up little Suzie and weep
The movie’s over it’s four o’clock
and we’re in trouble deepChorus
Well what are they going to tell your mama
What are they going to tell your pa
What are they going to tell our friends when they say Oh-la-laChorus
Well and told your mama that we’d be in by ten
Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again
Wake up a little Susie
Wake up a little Susie
We gotta go homeChorus
The movie wasn’t so hot
it didn’t have much of a plot
We fell asleep our goose is cooked
our reputation is shotChorus
Well what are they going to tell your mama
What are they going to tell your pa
What are they going to tell our friends when they say Oh-la-laChorus
Radio stations got ruffled about the kids having anxiety about falling asleep and missing curfew, despite no hanky-panky. Church leaders campaigned against it, saying that this innocent ditty would corrupt the youth. All the moral outrage made America's kids seek it out all the more and pushed it to #1. A song about oversleeping.
