My sister Susie won't sew!
What makes your sister act so,
She won't stay,
stay home you know.
What are the symptoms that show?
She's not sewing
and for ragtime she's going,
My sister Susie's gone mad
your story's awfully sweet.
She has the rag Fever bad,
Why don't you speak to her Dad?
Susie's syncopating ev'ry night;
It sure has hit her right.
She trips she skips!
And syncopates those dips.

Sister Susie's started syncopation,
slowly slipping saying "Some sensation.
She's singing sassy southern songs, is she;
and stepping to a soothing "Shiveree,"
So long, so long,
for our sweet confiding Susie
is a slippery sliding Susie.
So long Susie,
since your syncopatin'
you're surely sending sinners south to Satan,
for with those sentimental songs you're singing
you have started us a swinging,
you're set us saying
ah, stop that swaying,
You syncopating Sue.
