When Susan skips, her skipping rope Goes whirling round and round

She moves so fast, she hardly seems

To step upon the ground

And though you’d think she’s sure to fall, She never, never slips

Everybody says, “Hurrah!”

Whenever Susan skips

When Susan sighs, she’s doing math

Of that you may be sure

For Susan says that math’s a thing She simply can’t endure

The answers never will come right

No matter how she tries, And everybody wants to help Whenever Susan sighs

When Susan scowls, she’d better turn Her back to everyone

To see her frown so horribly

Is anything but fun

So nasty does she make her face That everybody howls

For everyone is terrified Whenever Susan scowls

When Susan sleeps, the little mice Come nibbling at her toe

But if she suddenly awoke, How quickly they would go!

See how tight her eyes are shut And see how still she keeps

Everybody says to “Hush!”

Whenever Susan sleeps

When Susan’s shy, it’s very hard

To make her speak a word

And when she does, she whispers so Her voice is barely heard

She puts her finger in her mouth And seems to want to cry,

Yet everyone’s so nice to her Whenever Susan’s shy

When Susan’s sick, poor little girl, She has to go to bed

She doesn’t want to laugh or play— She wants to sleep instead

The doctor comes to check on her And says her pulse is quick

Everybody worries so Whenever Susan’s sick

When Susan sews, her stitches are Extremely neat and small

And if she takes the greatest care, They hardly show at all

She sits up straight, and in and out Her shining needle goes

Everyone is pleased with her Whenever Susan sews

When Susan sneers—oh, horrible!

What’s she sneering at?

It must be something very bad

To make her look like that

The flowers droop and hang their heads, The sunshine disappears,

And everybody shrivels up Whenever Susan sneers

When Susan sings, her little voice Sounds sweet and clear and true Her little mouth she opens wide Just as she ought to do

Her songs are all of flowers, birds, And lambs, and happy things And everybody wants to sing Whenever Susan sings
