No! It's "Tell me no more lies. The boys are in the bathroom, pulling down their flies-- are in the meadow. The bees are in their hives. Miss Lucy and her boyfriend are kissing in the D.A.R.K" |

| You can't find it because it is Miss Lucy, not Suzy. |

| The 18 hour bra ads were everywhere in the early 70s. Now that I think of it, why were these poor women wearing a bra for 18 hours in a row? Didn’t they get to put on some pJs and go to sleep? |

Wow! This is a throwback! I learned it as Miss Susie living in Massachusetts when I was about 6.
I'm confused about what you mean about age appropriate OP. I don't think this is the kind of thing parents teach kids. It's the kind of thing they learn from other kids and adults just pretend to scold them and be shocked. |
