 Original 1920 Sheet Music Cover Lyrics Susan Doozan, Of you I've been musin' 'Cause my heart you've won, When I dream My little wife you seem, Say, wouldn't that be fun. I seem to see you at My breakfast table mornings, Gee, how fine 'twould be; And at the gate Each night you'd wait With smile and kiss for me. Susan Doozan, You're the only girl That I'd be choosin, Susan Doozan, Love like mine You couldn't be refusin'. I could never Go out without you. So won't you be my wife And keep me in for life, Oh, Susan Doozan, Do. Susan Doozan, You I can't be losin' For 'twould break my heart, Fate would be Unkind and most bemusin' If we two should part. There's something in me quivers Like a flock of flivers When I think of you. I'm more in love Than any dove, Oh, won't you love me too? Susan Doozan etc.

It was originally written for the 1916 Uplifters' Minstrels. This amateur show was one of many written and performed by members of the Los Angeles Uplifters Society of which Baum and Gay were members. This song is the only "Uplifters" number known to have been published--and it did not appear until 1920, the year after Baum's death. It has a rollicking and somewhat mocking melody, and Baum's lyrics are better than usual--probably because he was writing the song to amuse himself and his friends and not catering to a producer's whims. You can download or play a MIDI of this delightfully catchy number; and you can download the sheet music in PDF format which will allow you to save it on disc or print copies for yourself.
