Wait A Bit Susie 1924 'Primrose'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 11 Apr 2005

Susie wasn't mad about a dozen men or so.
She was only sad about just one
'cause he was slow.
Susan said to her mother:
"He's in love with some other."
But her mother said: "My dear,
don't lose your little head, my dear,
those tears you needn't shed, my dear,
I know."

Wait a bit, Susie, wait a bit, Susie;
there is someone who
some fine day will come and say
he loves you.
Someone who's lonely,
someone who only wonders what to do;
watching, waiting, hesitating too.
He doesn't say much when you're there,
but he's a bit shy.
Doesn't yet know yet if he dare,
but he's going to try.
Wait a bit, Susie, wait a bit Susie,
if you only knew,
someone's set his heart on getting you.

Wait a bit, Susie, wait a bit, Susie;
there is someone who
some fine day will come and say
he loves you.
Someone who's lonely,
someone who only wonders what to do;
watching, waiting, hesitating too.
He doesn't say much when you're there,
but he's a bit shy.
Doesn't yet know yet if he dare,
but he's going to try.
Wait a bit, Susie, wait a bit Susie,
if you only knew,
someone's set his heart on getting you.

Thought she didn't care about
the other men she met,
she was in despair about
the one she couldn't get,
wished that something would wake him,
felt she wanted to shake him,
life looked very grey to her;
each hour was like a day to her,
but something seemed to say to her:
"Don't fret."

Wait a bit, Susie, wait a bit, Susie;
there is someone who
some fine day will come and say
he loves you.
Someone who's lonely,
someone who only wonders what to do;
watching, waiting, hesitating too.
He doesn't say much when you're there,
but he's a bit shy.
Doesn't yet know yet if he dare,
but he's going to try.
Wait a bit, Susie, wait a bit Susie,
if you only knew,
someone's set his heart on getting you.

Wait a bit, Susie, wait a bit, Susie;
there is someone who
some fine day will come and say
he loves you.
Someone who's lonely,
someone who only wonders what to do;
watching, waiting, hesitating too.
He doesn't say much when you're there,
but he's a bit shy.
Doesn't yet know yet if he dare,
but he's going to try.
Wait a bit, Susie, wait a bit Susie,
if you only knew,
someone's set his heart on getting you.
