D      Bm      A      Em7  A   D 
I have got a sweetie known as Susie 
D       Bm      A            Em7   A   D 
In the words of Shakespeare, she's a "wow" 
  A    F#m   B7/9  A  F#m       B7/9 
Though all of you may know her, too 
F#m         B7          E7 
I'd like to shout right now 
    D   D9        D    D7M     D    D7M 
If you knew Susie, like I know Susie  
D6 Fdim A9   A      A9 
Oh! Oh! Oh! What a girl 
         A  A4     A   A9              A 
There's none so classy as this fair lassie  
Em7 Edim D     Cdim       Em7     A 
Oh!  Oh! Oh my goodness, what a chassis 
D  D9      D    G6  G5     G   G5 
We went riding, she didn't    balk 
E    E9       E   A7/13  Cdim     E7/9     A7 
Back from Yonkers, I'm the one that had to walk 
    D   D9     D        E  E9     E 
If you knew Susie, like I know Susie  
G  A7/13 A7 A7/13 D 
Oh! Oh! What a   girl 
D     Bm      A     Em7 A D 
Suzie has a perfect reputation 
D       Bm   A      Em7 A  D 
No one ever saw her on  a spree 
A     F#m   B7/9  A    F#m B7/9 
Nobody knows where Susie goes 
F#m    B7        E7 
Nobody knows but me 
    D   D9        D    D7M     D    D7M 
If you knew Susie, like I know Susie  
D6 Fdim A9   A      A9 
Oh! Oh! Oh! What a girl 
      A  A4      A      A9     A       A9 
She wears long tresses and nice tight dresses 
Em7 Edim  D     Cdim   Em7     A 
Oh!  Oh! What a future she possesses 
D   D9     D   G6  G5   G   G5 
Out in public, how she can yawn 
E  E9    E   A7/13      Cdim     E7/9     A7 
In a parlour, you would think the war was on 
    D   D9        D    D7M     D    D7M 
If you knew Susie, like I know Susie  
G  A7/13 A7 A7/13 D 
Oh! Oh! What a   girl!
