Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up

We've both been sound asleep, wake up, little Susie, and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock, and we're in trouble deep

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Well, what are we gonna tell your mama?
What are we gonna tell your pa?
What are we gonna tell our friends
When they say, "Ooh la la!"

Wake up, a little Susie
Wake up, a little Susie

Well, I told your mama that you'd be in by ten
Well, Susie, baby looks like we goofed again

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
We gotta go home

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up

The movie wasn't so hot
It didn't have much of a plot
We fell asleep
Our goose is cooked
Our reputation is shot

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Well, what are we gonna tell your mama
What are we gonna tell your pa?
What are we gonna tell our friends
When they say, "Ooh la la!"

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
We've both been sound asleep, wake up, little Susie, and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock, and we're in trouble deep
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well
Whatta we gonna tell your mama

Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say â??ooh-la-laâ??
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, well

Well Susie baby looks like we goofed again
Wake up little Susie
Wake up little Susie, we gotta go home
Wake up, little Susie, wake up

Wake up little Susie, well

My heart broke last night when I read Don died. The music he and Phil made from the late 50s through the early 60s were like a sing-along illustration of those days. They were admired by other musicians for their unique vocal stylings and those incredible harmonies. The Everly Brothers were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, its inaugural year. R.I.P.
Heaven must be ringin' with those incredible harmonies.

they censored the song in the 50s because it was taboo that susie spent the night with her boyfriend ,crazy what's considered acceptable now compared to back then , a cute song about a girl with her boyfriend all night, not aloud but now? you could basically tell someone to suck ur hemorrhoids all over with no issue

@Joanne Flowerday They care now about their reputation but it kind of went backward from then it seems! Now, well, in the 1970's when I was a teen, (haha! 50 years ago!) it would be impressive, like that girl in a small town making love in that singer's Chevy van. NOW parents would be able to see it was innocent because they'd be watching the kids fallen asleep at the movie on the cell phone. Plus they could try to wake them up with a call! 🥱😇

Love this song. This situation actually happened to me in 1963. Took a girl to the drive-in movies and got a little "distracted" for a few hours. Cleared the fog from the windows and saw that we were the only ones still there. Wasn't wearing a watch so we turned the radio on to find out it was 3:00 AM. Drove her home very quickly. Found out later that her Mom and Dad were going crazy calling hospitals, the police, her friends, etc. Needless to say, I didn't dare show my face around her house ever again. For any history buffs it was at the Skyview Drive-In in Sacramento, California. Many interesting things transpired at that place on the weekends.

This is my all-time favorite of the very few songs from the 50’s that I actually like. It reminds me of my mom because whevever I heard it as a child it made me think of her. I imagined her being like Susie as a teenager in the 50’s. I had no clue whether my imagination was correct or not, but I went with it because it made me happy to think that my mom was a good girl ☺️

The lyrics to this song came true for me and my husband who was my boyfriend at the time. We had worked hard that day and were tried after mowing grass and cutting shrubs. We were fixing up a place where we were going to live after we married. This was in the 60's and the Lord blessed me and let me get away with coming home at 2:00 am. My mama had been asleep when I came in she didn't say a word. She just turned over and went back to sleep. Wheee close call.

Don Everly died at his home in Nashville at age 84. His family issued a statement today (8/22/2021).
"Don lived by what he felt in his heart. Don expressed his appreciation for the ability to live his dreams ... living in love with his soul mate and wife Adela, and sharing the music that made him an Everly Brother. Don always expressed how grateful he was for his fans."

In the late 1950s and 1960s, the duo of Don and Phil drew upon their rural roots with their strummed guitars and high, yearning harmonies, while their poignant songs — many by the team of Felice and Boudleaux Bryant — embodied teenage restlessness and energy. Their 19 top 40 hits included "Bye Bye Love," "Let It Be Me," "All I Have to Do Is Dream" and "Wake Up Little Susie," and performers from the Beatles to Simon & Garfunkel cited them as key influences.

[A personal note: my life-long guitar hero Chet Atkins played that distinctive rhythm guitar riff on "Wake Up Little Susie." After the recording Chet showed the boys how to play the chord sequence quickly for their upcoming public appearances.]

Mark Blackburn

1y↑1

Don Everly said in a 1986 Associated Press interview that he and his brother were successful because "we never followed trends. We did what we liked and followed our instincts. Rock ‘n’ roll did survive, and we were right about that. Country did survive, and we were right about that. You can mix the two, but people said we couldn’t."

Decades later, their impact on popular music is still evident. In 2013, Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones released a loving tribute to the Everlys on their collaborative album "Foreverly."

They had a feel like no other artist in 57. They were right there with all of the other Greats for the Birth of Rock & Roll in 1957. This song still sounds great at my live gigs. (pre Covid) .. and it works well on the Cruise Ship gigs as well. My Students love to learn and play this song.

So sad to learn of Don s passing. I was privileged to meet Phil and Don after their concert at the Spektrum Oslo Norway on 24 July 2004 when they appeared with Simon and Garfunkel in concert. I had the greatest pleasure having seen them previously at the Royal Albert Hall London on September 23 1983. I had followed their music closely since my early days at Grammar School in England from 1957. Together with the Byrds and the Moody Blues they were my all time favourites and they will be sadly missed but their music lives on. A brilliant duo!

John Hirst

The best guitar riff intro to any pop song ever, imo. RIP Don. Played by Don on a Gibson J200 right up the neck, I believe. But I sense another fast riffing guitar in there as well, maybe. Phil ? Anyone know ?

Hilarious I’m 38 yrs old and my 11 yr old was singing this to me as I was doing her hair before school today! My mom and dad are in their early 80’s and papa loves playing the music channel on tv!

R.I.P Everly brothers. I hate getting older as it means soo many of the music talents I grew up listening to have slowly been passing away. My mother was a huge fan of the Everlys and the Bettles.

I first learned of this song because it was a favorite of former President George W. Bush and I came to fall in love with the song too. Beautiful.

I grew up listening to this music. My parents were teenagers in the 50s and they listened to all the hits of the 50s and early 60s.

Their first number one hit. I remember it well.

DON: Passed away today! Age 84. We'll never forget him. HIs spirit is all around us. Paul Simon and Paul McCartney are very sad, like us all.
