Oh! Susie Behave 1918

Susie was a nurse
pretty little nurse
and she won renown,
she had eyes that said "be careful,"
still the boys kept hanging 'round.
When she'd hold the hand
of an injured man
temper'tures flew high;
each pulse would leap to fever heat
then you'd hear the victim cry:

Oh! Susie! Oh! Susie
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Susie behave
the doctor takes my pulse ev'ry night,
then you come 'round and
there goes my resolutions
Oh! Susie! Oh! Susie
I have tried to be brave
I've been thru' many a fight
but when you're near me at night
Oh! Oh! Susie behave.

Oh! Susie! Oh! Susie
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Susie behave
the doctor takes my pulse ev'ry night,
then you come 'round and
there goes my resolutions
Oh! Susie! Oh! Susie
I have tried to be brave
I've been thru' many a fight
but when you're near me at night
Oh! Oh! Susie behave.

Susie had become,
loved by ev'ry one
who came there to rest
there was lots who had heart trouble
but not one would dare confess.
Time flew quickly by
people wondered why,
not one had come out,
but they began to understand
when they heard the inmates shout:

Oh! Susie! Oh! Susie
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Susie behave
the doctor takes my pulse ev'ry night,
then you come 'round and
there goes my resolutions
Oh! Susie! Oh! Susie
I have tried to be brave
I've been thru' many a fight
but when you're near me at night
Oh! Oh! Susie behave.

Oh! Susie! Oh! Susie
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Susie behave
the doctor takes my pulse ev'ry night,
then you come 'round and
there goes my resolutions
Oh! Susie! Oh! Susie
I have tried to be brave
I've been thru' many a fight
but when you're near me at night
Oh! Oh! Susie behave.
