Me mammy told me, Isabel, | |
Now don't stay out too late | |
One day they'll throw you out of school | |
So get yourself a steady date | |
But Georgie meets me every night | |
We go out and we have a bite | |
Eyes of blue, and money too, | |
He's rattling the garden gate, | |
And I can hardly wait | |
When Georgie's on a spree | |
All the girls are jealous of me | |
'Cause I'm the one he spends his money on | |
We spend it, one two three, | |
Driving in his Chevrolet | |
I'm perfect company | |
He's the king and I'm his queen | |
When Georgie's 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. | |
When Georgie's on a spree | |
All the girls are jealous of me | |
'Cause I'm the one he spends his money on | |
We spend it, one two three, | |
Driving in his Chevrolet | |
I'm perfect company | |
He's the king and I'm his queen | |
When Georgie's on a spree. | |
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 | |
When Georgie's on a spree | |
All the girls are jealous of me | |
'Cause I'm the one he spends his money on | |
We spend it, one two three, | |
Driving in his Chevrolet | |
I'm perfect company | |
He's the king and I'm his queen | |
When Georgie's on a spree | |
He's the king and I'm his queen | |
When Georgie's on a spree |
Me mammy told me, Isabel, | |
Now don' t stay out too late | |
One day they' ll throw you out of school | |
So get yourself a steady date | |
But Georgie meets me every night | |
We go out and we have a bite | |
Eyes of blue, and money too, | |
