Richard Linda Thompson Georgie On A Spree
My mammy told me "Isabelle, 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 a-rattling the garden gate And I can hardly wait (Chorus) When Georgie's on a spree All the girls are jealous of me 'Cos I'm the one he spends his money on He'll 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 a rest When I see something that I need, my Georgie buys the street for me When we've tired of the Ritz, he's got a little nest We'll put him to the test (Chorus) One day Georgie hung his head and sadly he did say "Little girl, I'm leaving you, I have to go away But I'll be back in a week or two and I'll be thinking just of you Sit beside your telephone until that lucky day When I come home to stay" (Chorus) He's the king and I'm his queen When Georgie's on a spree
