Well, when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair Talking 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 [Pre-Chorus] Take me down little Susie, take me down I know you think you're the queen of the underground [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 can take my pain away
[Pre-Chorus] Take me down little Susie, take me down I know you think you're the queen of the underground [Chorus] 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 Hey [Pre-Chorus] Take me down little Susie, take me down I know you think you're the queen of the underground [Chorus] And you can send me dead flowers every morning Send me dead flowers by the U.S. mail Say it with dead flowers at my wedding And I won't forget to put roses on your grave No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave
