When Private Green met Susie Brown (ril-a-ral-a-ree)
He took her all around the town (ril-a-ral-a-ree)
He hugged and kissed her everywhere
What a pair, her in a chair
Then the sergeant saw them there (ril-a-ral-a-ree)

Oh, the sergeant fell for Susie Brown (ril-a-ral-a-ree)
He took her all around the town ( (ril-a-ral-a-ree)
He taught her all the tricks he knew
How to woo, bill and coo
The captain came and said, "skidoo" (ril-a-ral-a-ree)

Oh the captain went for Susie Brown (ril-a-ral-a-ree)
He took her all around the town (ril-a-ral-a-ree)
They drank champagne and demitassse
He had class, lots of brass
Then the major saw the li'l lass (ril-a-ral-a-ree)

Oh, the major took to Susie Brown (ril-a-ral-a-ree)
He was a man of great reknown (ril-a-ral-a-ree)
He told the major he was king
What a king, full of zing
Now his heart is in a sling (ril-a-ral-a-ree)

But Susie married Private G (ril-a-ral-a-ree)
They proved that one and one make three (ril-a-ral-a-ree)
The officers are glad to see Susie B picked on G
The reason is their history (ril-a-ral-a-ree)
