    Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
    Talkin' to some rich folk that you know
    Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
    Well, you know I could never be alone

    Take me down little Susie, take me down
    I know you think you're the queen of the underground
    And you can send me dead flowers every morning
    Send me dead flowers by the mail
    Send me dead flowers to my wedding
    And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

    Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
    Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
    Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
    And another girl to take my pain away

    Take me down little Susie, take me down
    I know you think you're the queen of the underground
    And you can send me dead flowers every morning
    Send me dead flowers by the mail
    Send me dead flowers to my wedding
    And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

    Take me down little Susie, take me down
    I know you think you're the queen of the underground
    And you can send me dead flowers every morning
    Send me dead flowers by the U.S. Mail
    Say it with dead flowers in my wedding
    And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
    No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave
