07 Feb 01 - 11:51 AM (#392186) Subject: Wake Up Little Suzie Parody Sea Shanty From: GUEST,Roll&Go-c I've been thinking of working up a sea shanty parody of "Wake Up Little Suzie" by the Everly Brothers. It might be called "Wake Up Little Suzianna." However, I don't have the complete lyrics of the original and I'm not successful at finding a friendly website to access them from. I would appreciate any leads or spontaneous verses. |

07 Feb 01 - 02:44 PM (#392382) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Wake Up Little Suzie Parody S From: GUEST,Roll&Go-C Well, here's what I've come up with so far in rough. Needs some folk processing but maybe we can deconstruct it to a traditional style shanty that someone will ask about in the future. Charlie Ipcar © 2001 Adapted from Felice & Boudleaux Bryant © Wake Up Little Suzie Tune: more of a shanty shout at this point roughly based on original tune WAKE UP, SUZIANNA Wake up, Suzianna, wake up! Wake up, Suzianna, wake up! We've both been sound asleep Wake up, Suzianna and weep, Blue Peter's flying, there's no denying, We're in trouble deep; Wake up, Suzianna! Wake up, Suzianna! We gotta ship out! Well, we said we'd be aboard by ten, Well, Suzianna, we've goofed again, The boson's calling, the capstan's pawling, And we're three sheets to the wind; Wake up, Suzianna! Wake up, Suzianna! We gotta ship out! Well, the mudhook's up and down, But we're still stuck in town, What we gonna tell the Old Man When he looks at us with a frown? Wake up, Suzianna! Wake up, Suzianna! We gotta ship out! Wake up, Suzianna, wake up! Wake up, Suzianna, wake up! The rum it wasn't so hot, But we drank up all of our tot, We fell asleep, our duff is deep, Our reputation is shot! Wake up, Suzianna! Wake up, Suzianna! We gotta ship out!

02 Aug 01 - 04:17 PM (#519900) Subject: Lyr.Add.:Wake Up, Susiana From: Charley Noble I've been having fun trying out this parody that I wrote a few months back; it seems to provoke much mirth from the nautical crowd. I've done a little fine tuning since I first wrote it last February as Guest Roll & Go-C: WAKE UP, SUSIANA (Parody written by Charlie Ipcar © 2001 Adapted from Felice & Boudleaux Bryant © Wake Up Little Suzie. Tune: a slow shanty shout roughly based on the original tune) Chorus: Wake up, Susiana, wake up! Wake up, Susiana, wake up! We've both been sound asleep – Umph! Wake up, Susiana, and weep – Umph! Blue Peter's flying, there's no denying, We're in trouble deep! Wake up, Susiana! – Umph! Wake up, Susiana! – Umph! We gotta ship out! (CHO) Now we said we'd be aboard by ten – Umph! Susiana, we've goofed again – Umph! The bosun's calling, the capstan's pawling, And we're three sheets to the wind! Wake up, Susiana! – Umph! Wake up, Susiana! – Umph! We gotta ship out! (CHO) Now the rum it wasn't so hot – Umph! But we drank up all of our tot – Umph! You're still asleep, our duff is deep, Our reputation is shot! Wake up, Susiana! – Umph! Wake up, Susiana! – Umph! We gotta ship out! (CHO)
Now the mudhook's up and down – Umph! |

Susiana, we've goofed again - Umph! The bosun's a-calling, the capstan's a-pawling, And we're three sheets to the wind! Wake up, Susiana! - Umph! Wake up, Susiana! - Umph! We gotta ship out! (CHO) I've recorded this "shanty" on UNCOMMON SAILOR SONGS in 2003 and you can hear a MP3 sample at my personal website: Click here and search for lyrics! Cheerily, Charley Noble, formerly Guest Roll & Go-C |
