Miss Suzy had a tugboat
The tugboat had a bell
Miss Suzy went to heaven,
The tugboat went to-
Hello operator
Give me number nine
And if you disconnect me
I’ll chop off your-
Behind the ‘fridgerator
The was a piece of glass
Miss Suzy sat upon it
And broke her little-
Ask me no more questions
I’ll tell you no more lies
Miss Suzy saw the young men
Zipping up their
Flies are in the meadow
Bees are in the park
Miss Suzy’s with her boyfriend
Kissing in the D-A-R-K D-A-R-K D-A-R-K
Dark dark-
Dark there is a movie
The movie’s like a show
The show is like a picture
And that is all I-
Know I know my ma
I know I know my pa
I know I know my sister with the 40-acre bra

This, except:
- tugboat = steamboat
- little = big fat
- men = boys
- Suzy's with = Suzy and
- there is = is like

Also, "40-acre bra" was "40-acre 40-acre bra bra bra" like the d-a-r-k line.

And it was "PLEASE give me number nine", because we were polite. :3:

I think it’s interesting that I heard this around age 10 circa 1999, but the phone operator reference means the song was many many decades older.

And the repetition of the bra part makes sense, the kids I heard it from either forgot that part, or I did.

I mean, I heard it at the same time at the same age, but it didn't occur to me how old the phone operator reference was. I just thought it was someone dialing 0 and asking for "number nine" like some weirdo. :shrug:

I didn't get the "Robin laid an egg" pun until I was in my mid-30s :eng99:
