Oh Susanna, don't you cry for me.

If you're in Chicago, then don't tell me.

Oh Susanna, I want to stay up way too late

And hear all about you and all the stupid things you

say

You don't want to go that far



If you're in Chicago, If you're in Chicago

Then don't tell me

If you're in Chicago or some other city

Then don't tell me

I don't want to know that bad



Oh Susanna, I think you stay up way too late

And smoke too many cigarettes and barely ever eat

Oh Susanna, don't you be afraid

We're all scared here and nobody's the same

But I don't want to wake up so, so late

You don't want to go to sleep at all



You see the light I shined was so, so bright

I could barely, barely, barely see your eyes

Your pretty eyes
