Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two left feet but oh, so neat has sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and want to die sweet Miss Georgia Brown
And I'll tell you just why, you know that I do not lie, not much
It's been said that she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came, it's a shame how she cools 'em down
Fella's she can't get, must be fella's that she ain't met
It's been said that she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came, why it's a shame how she cools 'em down
Fella's she can't get, must be fella's that she ain't met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, sweet Georgia
They call her sweet Miss Georgia Brown

This is my favorite recording of Sweet Georgia Brown, and after 91 years it can still be found on the juke boxes. Speaking of juke boxes, I narrowly escaped death one night at a Chicago bar when I queued up Ave Maria during a dance party that was evolving into a drunken orgy.
