Georgie On A Spree (John Peel Session 11021975)

Me mammy told me, Isabel,
Now dont stay out too late
One day theyll 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,
Hes rattling the garden gate,
And I can hardly wait—
When Georgies on a spree
All the girls are jealous of me
Cause Im the one he spends his money on
We spend it, one two three,
Driving in his Chevrolet
Im perfect company
Hes the king and Im his queen
When Georgies on a spree.
We dont 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 were tired of the Ritz
Hes got a little nest
Where I put him to the test.
When Georgies on a spree
All the girls are jealous of me
Cause Im the one he spends his money on
We spend it, one two three,
Driving in his Chevrolet
Im perfect company
Hes the king and Im his queen
When Georgies on a spree.
One day Georgie hung his head
And sadly he did say—
Little girl, Im leaving you
I have to go away;
But Ill be back in a week or two,
And Ill be thinking just of you
Sit beside your telephone
Until that lucky day
When I come home to stay—
When Georgies on a spree
All the girls are jealous of me
Cause Im the one he spends his money on
We spend it, one two three,
Driving in his Chevrolet
Im perfect company
Hes the king and Im his queen
When Georgies on a spree
Hes the king and Im his queen
When Georgies on a spree
