Georgie On A Spree
Me Amammy told me, IDsabel, now dB7on’t stay out too Elate
AOne day they’ll throw youD out of school soB7 get yourself a steady dEate
But C#Georgie meets me F#mevery night, B7we go out and we Ehave a bite
C#Eyes of blue, and F#mmoney too, he’B7s rattling the gardeEn gate,
And DI can hardly Ewait—
Chorus:
When AGeorgie’s on a spree all thDe girls are jealous oAf me
Cause EI’m the one he spends hiF#ms money on, wB7e spend it, one twEo three,
ADriving in his Chevrolet I’Dm perfect comC#pany
DHe’s the king anAd I’m his queen wEhen Georgie’sA on a spree.
We don’t see bad company, we mix it with the best
Rubbing shoulders with the rich and no time for the rest
When I see something that I need my Georgie buys the street for me
And when we’re tired of the Ritz he’s got a little nest
Where I put him to the test.
Chorus
One day Georgie hung his head and sadly he did say—
Little girl, I’m leaving you, I have to go away;
But I’ll be back in a week or two and I’ll be thinking just of you
Sit beside your telephone until that lucky day
When I come home to stay—
Chorus +
He’s the king and I’m his queen
When Georgie’s on a spree
