Thread Name: Children's rhyme: When Susie Was A Baby
Subject: RE: Children's rhyme: When Susie Was A Baby
Hi, I grew up in Hertfordshire, England in the 1980's and we also used a suzy rhyme as a simple hand clap, but paused for the actions
When Suzy was a baby, a baby suzy was she went a wa wa wa wa wa
When Suzy was a toddler, a toddler suzy was she went a scribble, scribble, scribble, scribble scribble
When Suzy was a school girl, a school girl Suzy was she went a skip, skip, skip skip skip
When Suzy was a teenager, a tennager suzy was, she went a "ooh, aah, I've lost my bra, I've left my knickers in my boyfriend's car"
When Suzy was a mummy, a mummy suzy was, she went a bake bake bake bake bake
When suzy was a grandma, a grandma suzy was, she went a knit, knit, knit, knit knit
When Suzy was a skeleton, a skeleton suzy was she went a jingle, a jangle, a jingle jangle jangle
when suzy was an angel, an angel suzy was she went ah ha, ah ha ah ha ha ha
As I remember, we used to forget some of the lyrics and make up new ones. Each of the verses had actions
Hope this helps, Rachel
