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 Georgia 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’s cooled 'em down.
Fellas that she can’t get Must be fellas that she ain’t met.
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown.
