"Sweet Georgia Brown"
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, oh so neat, has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and want to die for Sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie not much
It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came why it's a shame how she cools them down
Fellas she can't get must be fellas she ain't met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her Sweet Georgia Brown
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia brown
Two left feet, oh so neat, has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and want to die for Sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie not much
All those gifts, those courters give to Sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows with one dollar down
Oh boy, tip your hat, oh joy, she's the cat
Who's that, mister? It ain't a sister, Sweet Georgia Brown
I'd like to order something cool
It's so warm here in town
And this heat gets me down
Yes I'd like something cool
My it's nice, to simply sit and rest awhile
I know it's a shame
I can't think of your name
But I remember your smile
I don't ordinarily drink
With strangers
I just usually drink alone
But you were so very nice to ask me
And I'm so terribly far from home.
Like my dress? I must confess
It's very old.
But it's simple and neat
And just right for this heat.
Save my furs for the cold.
A cigarette, no , I don't smoke them
As a rule
But, I'll have one, it might be fun
With something
I'll bet you wouldn't imagine
But I one-time had a house
With so many rooms
I couldn't count them all
And I'll bet you couldn't imagine
But I had fifteen different beaus
Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball
And I'll bet you wouldn't picture me
The time I went to Paris in the fall
Oh who would think the man I loved
Was quite so handsome, quite so tall.
Well, it's through.
It's just a memory I had.
One I'd almost forgot
'cause the weather's so hot
And I'm feeling so bad
About a date
Oh wait, I'm such a fool
He's just a guy who stopped to buy me
Something cool
