Margie / If You Knew Susie - Lyrics - Eddie Cantor

Eddie Cantor â October 10, 1964), born Isidore Itzkowitz, was an American "illustrated song" performer, comedian, dancer, singer, actor and songwriter. Familiar to Broadway, radio, movie and early television audiences, this "Apostle of Pep" was regarded almost as a family member by millions because his top-rated radio shows revealed intimate stories and amusing anecdotes about his wife Ida and five daughters. Some of his hits include "Makin' Whoopee," "Ida," "If You Knew Susie," "Ma! He's Makin' Eyes at Me," "Margie" and "How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm ?" He also wrote a few songs, including "Merrily We Roll Along," the Merrie Melodies Warner Bros. cartoon theme.

I have got a sweetie known as Susie; In the words of Shakespeare, she's a wow. Though all of you may know her too, I'd like to shout right now: If you knew Susie like I know Susie -- Oh -- oh -- oh, what a girl! There's none so classy as this fair lassie. Oh -- oh -- oh my goodness, what a chassis! We went riding; she didn't balk. From the country, I'm the one who had to walk. If you knew Susie like I know Susie -- Oh -- oh, what a girl! Susie has a perfect reputation; No one ever saw her on a spree. Nobody knows where Susie goes -- Nobody knows but me! If you knew Susie like I know Susie -- Oh -- oh -- oh, what a girl! She wears long tresses and nice tight dresses. Oh -- oh -- what a future she possesses! Out in public, how she can yawn; In the parlor, you would think the war was on! If you knew Susie like I know Susie -- Oh -- oh, what a girl! She'll spend Sunday praising the Lord, But on Monday, she's as busy as a board If you knew Susie like I know Susie -- Oh -- oh, what a girl! I had a mustache, and trained it like a pup. She's got such hot lips, she kissed me once and burned it up! If you knew Susie like I know Susie -- Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what a girl!
