SAGA OF SUSIE BROWN, THE (RIL-A-RAL-A-REE)
(B. Bierman / J. Manus / H. Grant)


Happy Jim Parsons - 1942




 
When Private Green met Susie Brown (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)
He took her all around the town (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree))
He hugged and kissed her everywhere
What a pair, her in a chair
Then the sergeant saw them there (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)

Oh, the sergeant fell for Susie Brown (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)
He took her all around the town (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)
He taught her all the tricks he knew
How to woo, bill and coo
The captain came and said, "Skidoo!" (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)

Oh the captain went for Susie Brown (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)
He took her all around the town (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)
They drank champagne and demitassse
He had class, lots of brass
The major saw the li'l lass (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)
 
Oh, the major took to Susie Brown (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)
He was a man of great reknown (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)
He told the major he was king
What a king, full of zing
Now his heart is in a sling (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)

But Susie married Private G (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)
They proved that one and one make three (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)
The officers are glad to see
Susie B picked on G
The reason is all history (Ril-A-Ral-A-Ree)
