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 wanna 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 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-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 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."
