Sweet Georgia Brown Songtext
von Duke Ellington & Ella Fitzgerald

No girl 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 cools ′em down

Fellers she can′t get are fellers she ain't met
Georgia claimed her
Georgia named her
Sweet Georgia Brown

No girl 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 cools 'em down


Fellers she can't get are fellers she ain′t met
Georgia claimed her
Georgia named her
Sweet Georgia Brown

No girl, not a girl got a shade like Georgia Brown
Two feet, so sweet, sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and wanna die for the girl called Georgia Brown

Listen ′til I tell you
Let me tell you why, you know I don't lie
Follows tips, the border swifts to sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows with one dollar down

Fellers she can′t get are fellers she ain't met
But, oh boy, tiff you had to row joy, she′s a catch
She's no girl, got a shade on sweet
She′s got two left feet but, oh, so neat
She's got money and clothes and diamonds too
There's just nothing that girl can′t do
She′s got the guys all hangin' around
How she really cools ′em down

Georgia claimed her
Georgia named her
Sweet Georgia Brown


Georgia claimed her
Georgia named her
That's sweet old Georgia Brown
