I'm gonna tell you all the story from my old hometown
'Bout sweet Susie Q, Billy Jean, and Charlie Brown
They lived up the hill, in a house of their own
And everyone was welcome to their home sweet home
They was a real nice family, made you feel so good
And everybody liked them in our neighbourhood
Every Saturday night they'd fix a barbecue
There'd be dancin' and a-singin', always something to do
Now late last year on a hot summer day
A rock'n'roll band came to town to play
They'd heard 'bout our barbecues on Saturday nights
They promised to play, Charlie Brown said "Alright"
Oh they set up their gear where the turnips grow
And 'round eight o'clock, well they had started their show
They played some real nice music boy, they sure was good
And everyone got dancin' like I knew they would
Billy Jean and Charlie Brown and Susie Q
Every Saturday night they'd fix a barbecue
Billy Jean and Charlie Brown and Susie Q
There'd be dancin' and a-singin', and a boogaloo
Now Suzy Q got hip to the singer in the band
And after a while, they were hand in hand
She didn't say a word to her ma or pa
She just packed a few things and jumped into his car
Later that night, when Charlie Brown found out
He got all uptight, now he could scream and shout
That dirty, lousy singer took my daughter to bed
I'm goin' after that guy, I'm gonna shoot him down dead
Now Billy Jean got angry with her Charlie Brown
"Well, I got something to say, you just stick around
Our Susie Q's a woman, not a child no more
And if you don't stop a-hollerin' I'll show you the door
And if you come a-knockin' an' a-tryna come in
I'll be waitin' for you Charlie, with my rolling pin
So just mosy on out to your friends out there
Find yourself some whiskey and an empty chair"
Billy Jean and Charlie Brown and Susie Q
Every Saturday night they'd fix a barbecue
Billy Jean and Charlie Brown and Susie Q
There'd be dancin' and a-singin', and a boogaloo
The months turned to years but still no Susie Q
Charlie Brown had trouble with payments overdue
When early one morning there's a knock on the door
As Billy Jean opened up she nearly fell to the floor
Standin' in the doorway was that daughter of theirs
Lookin' oh-so-cute, all covered in furs
"Hello there ma, long time no see
Like you all to meet my husband", so she introduced me!
Billy Jean and Charlie Brown and Susie Q
Every Saturday night they'd fix a barbecue
Billy Jean and Charlie Brown and Susie Q
There'd be dancin' and a-singin', and a boogaloo
Billy Jean and Charlie Brown and Susie Q
Every Saturday night they'd fix a barbecue
Billy Jean and Charlie Brown and Susie Q
There'd be dancin' and a-singin', and a boogaloo
