Miss Susie had an engine
The engine had a bell.
Miss Susie went to heaven
The Engine went to ...
Hello operator, give me number nine
If you disconnect me
I'll kick you right behind...
The refrigerator, there was a piece of glass
Miss Susie fell upon it and broke her little ...
Ask me no more questions, I'll tell you no more lies.
Miss Susie told me this the day before
She dyed her hair in purple,
She dyed her hair in pink,
She dyed her hair in polka dots
And washed it down the sink.
