Heist those windows we pass through,
Heist those windows we pass through,
Heist those windows we pass through,
I love you, Susie Brown.
I love you, my pretty miss;
Don't go home without a kiss.
Sashay center as we go 'round,
Sashay center as we go 'round,
Sashay center as we go 'round,
And I love you, Susie Brown.

(Mr. Ash: "That's a party game, and it's played with four, two and two . . . no, it's played by four couples; now I've got it. And you first cross arms and swing to the right and cross arms and swing to the left. And then they make an arch and they pass through. Then they come around to their natural positions again, and then they sing once more until each couple has all went around through the same operation, and then when it's reached the end of it, he says, 'You can go where and I don't care.' That's all of it.")
