suzy was nine and i was ten
right at the time when boys like think they're men
she used to follow us to school
we really thought that she was a little fool
and one day we said to her
we don't wanna hurt you girl, but you've better
look for a friend of your own, suzy-hang-around
better come back when you're grown, suzy-hangaround
nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
so get off our playground and stay away
that's all that we've got to say, suzy-hang-around
suzy ran home to mama's arms
mama said: "look, she's never done you no harm
so get off her back and let her be
why can't you play together in harmony"
we really didn't know what to say
but as soon as she went away, we laughed and said
look for a friend of your own, suzy-hang-around
better come back when you're grown, suzy-hangaround
nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
so get off our playground and stay away
that's all that we've got to say, suzy-hang-around
'cause you've better
look for a friend of your own, suzy-hang-around
better come back when you're grown, suzy-hangaround
nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
so get off our playground and stay away
that's all that we've got to say, suzy-hang-around
