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'are 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)
