ABBA - Suzy Hang-A-Round Lyrics






Suzy was nine and I was ten
Right at the time when boys like to think they're men
She used to follow us at school
We really thought that she was a little fool
And one day we said to her
We don't want to hurt you girl
But you'd better

Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around
Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around
Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
So get off our playground and stay away
That's all that we've got to say
Suzy-hang-around

Suzy went home to Mama's arms
Mama said "Look, she's never done you no harm
So get off her back and let her be
Why can't you play together in harmony?"
We really didn't know what to say
But as soon as she went away
We laughed and said

Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around
Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around
Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
So get off our playground and stay away
That's all that we've got to say
Suzy-hang-around

Yes you'd better
Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around
Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around
Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
So get off our playground and stay away
That's all that we've got to say
Suzy-hang-around

  1. L.... L....

    I never knew that was Benny singing. I that it was Bjorn

    L.... L....

    I learnt that today too

  2. S.... B....

  3. M.... F....

    Essa música é o Benny quem canta legal gostei

  4. S.... R....

    J'aime beaucoup la voix de Benny ainsi que cette chanson . Dommage qu'il ne chante pas aussi souvent

  5. G.... B....

    Poor Suzy!

  6. P.... W....

    This was a masterpiece for many reasons..... and who of us can't respond emotionally to "Suzy?" The guitar and percussion are also fantastic!

  7. m.... 5....

    One of my fave Abba songs but I never knew it was Benny singing. The pretty melody with complex guitar arrangement and Moog bass is bloody awesome !

  8. b.... ....

    I have been loving this hit,by its beginning completely Beatles-sound!

  9. D.... M....

    My sister was a kind of "Suzy Hang Around". That's why this song always touches my soul...

  10. A.... K....

    One of the songs you hear Benny sing

  11. F.... ....

    Kids can be cruel. This song reminds me of the classmates who treated me poorly, especially in junior high, and I like and dislike it for that reason. I'm thankful to say that those people grew up. The one friend I had for part of that time? See "All die ganzen Jahre" by Die Toten Hosen.

  12. M.... C....

    I love Benny's voice on this ABBA classic but at 2:02 suddenly my hearing goes, the world stops spinning and I don't know why.

  13. D.... M....

    I remember when this came out an an album cut. Never heard another ABBA song played likely by Bjorn on lead with sounds like a Rickenbacher electric 12-string. Very nice .

  14. d.... w....

    guitar is great, but let the girls do the singing

    d.... w....

    The men,Björn and Benny were very accomplished singers as well as song writers...its great that they can take over sometimes,the lead singing although the girls are fantastic at it..but that they too sing just add to the richness of the ABBA music experience.....this works very good with Benny...

  15. J.... G....

    An ingenious song, clever, and with the sexy pics of Frida and Agnetha, the video is well worth watching. This song must have been created when we had freedom of speech and none of today's politically correct nonsense. Today, 2019, this "Suzy" song wouldn't get published or posted...too bully-ish and politically incorrect. Fuck 'em all. I like the song..

  16. C.... L....

    I love this song, I love the music but the words are really cruel...Why no one noticed this?

  17. G.... J....

    I've never heard this one before it's good ,they all look so happy ,shame it's over for them

  18. J.... G....

    I think aghetha and frida outfit is the beautiful part of the song just check them out and se if you don’t think so

  19. R.... ....

    Benny didn't like the way he sang? He should hear ME sing, He would never complain about his voice again.

  20. D.... 1....

    looks like Benny was the biggest feminist in the group, lol, and he sounds a bit like Brian Wilson

  21. C.... ....

    Great song. But shame it's not an actual VIDEO. The title is misleading. "Widescreen HD" suggests that this is video footage of the performance. But it's not. It's a list of stills... and therefore who cares if it's widescreen etc? Thumbs DOWN for the misleading title.

    If you change the title to "ABBA - Suzy Hang Around (still images only)" then I will give a thumbs up. In the meantime, please stop wasting my time when I am trying to search for a VIDEO of this song.

  22. M.... S....

    Poor Suzy, all she wanted was to hang around with the cool kids. But instead she got bullied and told to F off. Sad.

  23. a.... a....

    Suzie was 9
    And I was 10
    Right at the time, when
    Girls like to meet their men
    far out.......

    a.... a....

    Right at the time when boys like to think they're men.

    a.... a....

    Suzy was nine and I was ten
    Right at the time when boys like to think they're men

  24. J.... W....

    Benny's voice was uncharacteristically high, but I like it.

  25. G.... N....

    Masterpiece. Comes in at no. 43 on my Top 400, only pipped by genius such as "Isn't Life Strange", "Book of Saturday", "Nantucket Sleighride" and "The Vanilla Queen".

  26. B.... D....

    wow I'm 50 something and I neither have heard this song until tonight I like it

  27. M.... I....

    Great to hear Benny sing solo .... he is amazing !!! :)

    M.... I....

    Bjorn :-)

    M.... I....

    Sorry your wrong.....Its is Benny ! I'm 55 and it took me till last year to know this lol  Prob the only one he sang lead on ever !

    M.... I....

    @TheMusicMan that is the only song Benny sings lead

  28. f.... ....

    This song was unusual in that Benny Andersson sang it, and wrote most of the lyrics(he no longer wrote lyrics after this album).

  29. D.... C....

    A really great pop song.Wunderschoen!

  30. c.... ....

    I am absolutely shocked that in 45 years I had never heard it at all until last month. I love it! Wow....there is some very good ABBA material that never was given proper exposure or credit! Way to go ABBA!

  31. J.... B....

    When I met Benny in 2009, I told him this was one of my favorite ABBA songs. He laughed and said "No it isn't!" He told me this is the one song he wishes he could forget.

    J.... B....

    Well you can tell him its one of the Best ABBA songs

    J.... B....

    Shame. It speaks to a lot of people who were bullied.

  32. t.... f....

    A very great touch of Clannad, the famous irish band, which ABBA celebrates here in this very awesome, impressing song. it has not the value, which it should had had.

    t.... f....

    Actually, it came out in 1974, long before Clannad. It's pretty much a homage to the Beach Boys, Benny's favourite band - listen to One Man, One Woman (featuring Benny on backing vocals in full Beach Boys-mode) and On & On & On.

  33. A.... ....

    Thank you for posting this Video Dallas...I wish it was being played more today...pretty much tells us about all the "Bullying" that happens now-a-days. Sad that ABBA did not write another verse to it though....maybe, telling us that Suzy ended up a better, stronger person then those that picked on her....Still a great song though.

  34. i.... ....

    Kind of a mean song for ABBA don't you think.. Poor Suzy

  35. m.... ....

    Agreed, this is a really nice song. Whereas neither Benny nor Björn had exceptional singing voices, Björn did not seem to mind taking the occasional lead, but Benny the perfectionist (Frida's soul mate) evidently couldn't endure anything less than outstanding. This is the only ABBA song he took lead vocals in.

  36. m.... ....

    Benny reportedly claims he doesn't like the sound of himself singing this song, tho for the life of me I cannot understand why; he may not be Sinatra, but he certainly acquits himself well as a lead vocalist

    m.... ....

    I agree. Before I heard this song I had read that Benny did not rate himself highly as a singer so I was surprised to find that he in fact does sing this song. I was also apprehensive when I bought the Waterloo album as to what his voice on this would sound. So I had a quite a pleasant surprise when the record player got to this track and Benny started telling us that "Suzy was nine and I was ten" to find that he actually sounded pretty good.

  37. T.... D....

    ABBA were ahead of their time with this "anti-bullying song". Great song.

  38. H.... H....

    this was the song I liked.Was 13.You really cant say who is singing the lead.Oh so so many years ago.

  39. B.... B....

    Almost can be considered an experimental track, with the droning guitars (synths?) reminiscent of older songs like The Who's "The Good's Gone" or The Kink's "See Me Friend", and Benny taking the lead vocal makes it that much more unusual. A unique and very strong underrated song.

  40. S.... F....

    This is my favorite song by ABBA!

  41. w.... ....

    I like this song, great slides and pictures.. too bad Benny only took a lead vocal on this track.. i wonder what Benny sounded like singing two for the price of one, or does your mother know !!! lol

  42. J.... ....

    What a shame he never tried singing again. He always looked uncomfortable singing backup in the videos. This is a very catchy tune. I always wonder what Benny would have sounded like doing One Night in Bangkok.

  43. J.... C....

    Benny's vocal was not bad. But he said he would never do another one.

  44. T.... ....

    Go Benny!!

  45. D.... ....

    Sonja was 9,and I was 10 ... then

  46. f.... ....

    This is my favorite Abba song

    f.... ....

    felix121984 mine is the day before you came

  47. M.... ....

    Immer noch das Beste Lied von Abba!

  48. M.... ....

    Von allen Liedern, das beste!

  49. V.... ....

    Hey thanks a lot for posting this.
    I used to listen to this one over and over when I was 10, my Dad owned a cassette of Waterloo.

    I got goosebumps, one of ABBA's underrated songs. And yes Benny should have sung more. Beyond words!!

  50. c.... ....

    then i still dont know who actually sings this, surely somebody must know?
    i thought this was Benny.

    c.... ....

    colemann76 Yes Benny

    c.... ....
