Richard Thompson - Georgie On A Spree lyrics

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
