- Verse:
- She just got here yesterday,
Things are hot here now they say,
- There's a big change in
town.
- Gals are jealous there's
no doubt, Still the fellows
rave about,
- Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown.
- And ever since she came,
The local folks all claim:
-
- Chorus:
- No gal made has got a shade
on Sweet Georgia Brown,
- Two left feet but oh so
neat has Sweet Georgia Brown,
- They all sigh and wanna
die for Sweet Georgiea 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 'em down.
- Fellers she can't get are
Felers she ain't met,
- Georgia claimed her Georgia
named her Sweet Georgia Brown.
