Suzy was nine and I was ten

Right at the time when boys like to think they're
men

She used to follow us from school

We really thought that she was a little fool

And one day we said to her

We don't want to hurt you girl

But you'd better

Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around

Better come back when you're grown,
Suzy-hang-around

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 went 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-hang-around

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

Yes, you'd better

Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around

Better come back when you're grown,
Suzy-hang-around

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
