This is a song my mother used to sing a lot. I believe that she learned it when she was in a school musical show sometime in the 1930's in Canton, Ohio. I have a picture of everyone dressed up in 1890's outfits and singing silly songs.

I too have been trying to find out all the lyrics, but what I remember is

Once, there was a girl that I knew
Her name was slue(slew?)-foot Sue
She was chief engineer at the shirt-tale factory
down ....
she was ....
her face was just like a soft-shell crab
and when she used to hustle, in her patent-leather bustle
BOY she was GRAND!
