[Verse] Molly makes marmalade, muddles the mix Benny brings berries in baskets of six She stirs it, he spills it, they start it again While Susie keeps polishing shoes for her friends [Call and Response] Who brought the berries? Benny brought six! Who stirred the marmalade? Molly did quick! Where’s Susie sitting? Right by the door! Where does she shine? On the shoe-shop floor! [Chorus] She sits, she shines, the whole room grins Fresh little stories come tumbling in Round goes the rhyme, then round once more Susie’s the star of the shoe shine store [Outro] Molly makes marmalade, Benny brings more Susie keeps shining by the shop door Say it together, then say it once more: Susie sits shining in the shoe shine store [Verse] Peter picked a pepper by the pickle stand Penny packed the peppers in a paper bag Peter passed the paper to a passing band Penny laughed and let the pepper tumble back [Call and Response] Who picked the pepper? Peter picked the pepper Who packed the paper? Penny packed the paper Who let it tumble? Penny let it tumble Who’s still laughing? Everybody’s laughing [Chorus] Round and round the words go rolling Quick and slick, the syllables fly Say it once and keep it going Pass it on from side to side [Outro] Peter picked a pepper by the pickle stand Penny packed the peppers in a paper bag Peter passed the paper to a passing band Penny laughed and let the pepper tumble back [Verse] Sarah said she saw her Sarah said she saw her Sarah said she saw her Selling sea shells on the sea shore Lucy also stood there Lucy also stood there Lucy also stood there Selling bags of fresh air [Verse] Now I saw Susie sitting She was sitting in a shoe shine shop Sitting in a shoe shine shop She was sitting in a shoe shine shop It seems that where this Susie sits Is also where she shines It’s also where she shines Yes, it’s also where she shines And where she shines she sits Yes, where she shines she sits ’Cause that’s where I saw Susie Sitting in a shoe shine shop [New Verse] Milly made marmalade, measured it twice Benny bent buttons and polished them nice Tilly took tickets, then ticked every name The shop got so busy, they started a game Freddie found feathers, Phoebe found four They fluttered through town and flew past the store Clara clapped carefully, count one, count two Then Susie said, “Friends, there’s a shine for you!” [Call and Response] Who keeps the counter? Susie does! Who makes it sparkle? Susie does! Where do the neighbors all line up at noon? Right by the chair and the little brass spoon! [Chorus] Where she shines, she sits Where she sits, she shines Round and round the story goes In a neat and tidy line Where she shines, she sits Everybody knows At the shoe shine shop, the whole town comes and goes [New Verse] Nora brought a notebook, wrote down the queue Ollie brought oranges, split them in two Peter picked peppermint, packed it in sacks Susie kept smiling as the neighbors came back Left shoe, right shoe, polish on the toe One little brush and away they go Say it together, keep the words in time: Susie sits and shines, and shines while sitting fine [Final Chorus] Where she shines, she sits Where she sits, she shines Round and round the story goes In a neat and tidy line Where she shines, she sits Everybody knows At the shoe shine shop, the whole town comes and goes [Outro] Who keeps the counter? Susie does! Who makes it sparkle? Susie does! Where she shines, she sits Where she sits, she shines
