D                     D        F G F  
Wake up little Susie, wake up
D                     D        F G F 
Wake up little Susie, wake up
      G         D       G      G               D        G
We've both been sound asleep, wake up little Susie and weep
     G       D           G       D          G        D       G
The movie's over, it's four o'clock, and we're in trouble deep
                A       G               A
Wake up little Susie   wake up little Susie

[chorus:]
        A              G         A
Well, whatta we gonna tell your Momma
A                G         A
Whatta we gonna tell your Pop
A                G         A                    A{let ring}
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say... "Ooh la la"
                D       A                D
Wake up little Susie   wake up little Susie

[bridge:]    
D                                            D
Well, I told your Momma that you'd be in by ten
      G                                G
Well, Susie baby looks like we goofed again
                A      G                A    {let ring}
Wake up little Susie,  wake up little Susie
            |D  | F G F |D | F G F |  
We gotta go home

Wake up little Susie, wake up
      G        D       G       G             D         G
The movie wasn't so hot It didn't have much of a plot
     G       D           G        D          G        D       G
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked our reputation is shot

Wake up little Susie,  wake up little Susie

Well, whatta we gonna tell your Momma
A                G         A
Whatta we gonna tell your Pop
A                G         A                    A{let ring}
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say... "Ooh la la"
A                D       A               D
Wake up little Susie   wake up little Susie
