Wakeup Little Susie
Wake Up Little Susie: A Tale of Midnight Troubles
Lyrics
*Wake up little susie*
Calling out to Susie, urging her to wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Repeated call to Susie to wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
-We've both been sound asleep
Both the speaker and Susie were asleep
Wake up little Susie and weep
Asking Susie to wake up and possibly cry or express regret
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
Indicating the movie is over and it's very late (4 o'clock)
And we're in trouble deep
They are in a serious problem or trouble
Wake up, little Susie
Repeated call to Susie to wake up
Wake up, little Susie
-Well, what are we gonna tell your Mama
Questioning what explanation they will give to Susie's parents
What are we gonna tell your Pa?
Questioning what explanation they will give to Susie's father
What are we gonna tell our friends
Questioning what explanation they will give to their friends about an incident or situation
When they say, "Ooh la la!"
Suggesting possible surprise or shock from friends
Wake up, little Susie
Repeated call to Susie to wake up
Wake up, little Susie
-Well, I told your Mama that you'd be in by ten
Speaker had promised Susie's mother she'd be home by ten
Well, Susie baby, looks like we goofed again
Realization that they have made a mistake again
Wake up, little Susie
Repeated call to Susie to wake up
Wake up, little Susie
-We gotta go home
They need to leave and go home
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Repeated call to Susie to wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
-The movie wasn't so hot
The movie they watched wasn't very good
It didn't have much of a plot
It lacked a coherent storyline
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked
They fell asleep and now are in trouble
Our reputation is shot
Their reputation is damaged
Wake up, little Susie
Repeated call to Susie to wake up
Wake up, little Susie
-Well, what are we gonna tell your Ma-ma
Questioning what explanation they will give to Susie's mother
What are we gonna tell your Pa?
Questioning what explanation they will give to Susie's father
What are we gonna tell our friends
Questioning what explanation they will give to their friends about an incident or situation
When they say, "Ooh la la!"
Suggesting possible surprise or shock from friends
Wake up, little Susie
Repeated call to Susie to wake up
Wake up, little Susie
-Wake up, little Susie
Final call to Susie to wake up
