GEORGETTE
(Words by Lew Brown / Music by Ray Henderson, 1922)


Right across the way from me in apartment forty three
every night I always see such a funny pair 
he's a bashful Romeo and she loves to tease him so he sighs, 
oh! how he cries each time she rolls her eyes:

Every night it's just the same and I think that it's a shame
cause she plays the same old game but he doesn't care 
when he starts to fuss and pout she just tries to put him out 
he's sore, gets to the door and then he sings once more

Georgette, Georgette, I'm as wild as can be 
I'm all upset 'cause you're teasing me 
My ma, my pa, my whole family they scold me, 
they told me you've got a kick like T.N.T. , 
I eat, I sleep, but not like I should 
Oh! me,  Oh! my, why can't you be good? 
Once I was gentle and meek now I'm as wild as the Sheik 
I'll get you yet, Georgette.
