Sweet Georgianna,
You are just a honey to me.
Sweet Georgianna,
Sweeter than a peach on a tree.
When we're together,
Walkin' side by side,
I feel so proud
Passing the crowd,
My heart just bump with pride!

Sweet Georgianna,
After all the things you've done,
You are the sweetness under the sun,
Rolled into one.
I dreamed of orange blossom,
You know the sign!
Sweet Georgianna,
Tell me when you're gonna be mine!

Sweet Georgianna,
Tell me, tell me,
Tell me when you're gonna be mine!
