Lyrics
ON THE BANKS OF THE 'GUAKAMOLE' WHEN I WAS JUST A LAD, SUZIE AND I'D GO 'DIPPIIN' IN THE SUMMER; OL'SUZIE LOU HAD SOMETHING THAT I WANTED REAL BAD, AND SURE WISHED THAT I COULD GET IT FROM HER.(CHORUS) YOU GOT WHAT I WANT, WHY CAN'T I HAVE SOME, IT'S NOT MUCH FUN TO DO IT BY YOURSELF; YOU GOT WHAT I WANT, WHY CAN'T I HAVE ONE,IT WON'T GET ANY BETTER, SITTIN' ON THE SHELF. (V.2) I KNEW TO GET THE THING I WANTED I HAD TO PLAY IT COOL, WHEN YOU ASK STRAIGHT OUT YOU USUALLY GET TURNED DOWN; SO I CONJURED UP A SNEAKY PLAND FOR I WAS NO ONE'S FOOL, AND I WAITED 'TILL THE NEXT TIME SHE CAME 'ROUND.(CHO) (V.3) THE NEXT TIME SUZIE DROPPED ON BY I ACTED REAL NICE, I OOZED WITH CHARM AS SHE CAME THROUGH THE DOOR; I TOOK HER BY THE HAND AND LED HER OUT BEHIND THE BARN, SO I C OULD GET WHAT I'D BEEN WAITING FOR. AND I SAID(CHO)(V.4)I WAS VERY NERVOUS 'CAUSE IT WAS MY FIRST TIME, IT WAS ONE OF THOSE TIMES YOU DON'T FORGET; SUZIE CAME ACROSS ALL RIGHT AND AS WE BOTH LIT UP, I FINALLY SMOKED MY FIRST REAL CIGERETTE.(CHO)
