Say now, now come 'ere

I, I just wanna talk wit’you, you know

I want to show you how to Suzy Q Now, you watch

Ah, don’t have to work your feet

You just hold up your fingers

I’m gonna show you now, you watch

(harmonica)

I don’t care nothin''bout your engagement ring

Oh, come o’r here

At least you can talk with me, you know

Oh, just, just let me t-t-t tell

You somethin', you know

Oh, I don’t wanna marry, no way

Now, watch

(harmonica)

None a-this, jazz

Oh, you ain’t coming’at all, huh?

Oh, I know you don’t love me, you love somebody

But I just wanna talk wit’ch you

Let Sonny Boy just tell you a word, hear?

Oh, that the way you do me a snub

But watch!

(harmonica)

Yes!

Yes!

I wish I’d a met you ah, much earlier

You know, than I did, ah Maybe I’m a little too late

But I just wanna show you how to Suzy Q Come on out, you don’t have to work your feet

Just hold your fingers

Look now, I’m gon’teach you!

Now you just watch

(harmonica and boogie to end)
