Sweet Georgia Brown
Bunny Berigan and His Orchestra Lyrics

She just got here yesterday,
The woman being referred to in this song is new to town and only recently arrived.

Things are hot here now they say,
There's a lot of excitement around town about the new woman's arrival.

There's a new gal in town.
The woman being referred to is the new arrival in town.

Gals are jealous, there's no doubt.
The other women in town are envious of the new woman's attention from men.

All the guys just rave about Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown.
Men are very interested in the new woman in town.

And ever since she came, the common folks all claim, say
Everyone is talking about and has an opinion on the new woman in town since her arrival.

No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown.
There is no other woman who rivals the beauty and charm of Sweet Georgia Brown.

Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown.
Despite her clumsiness, Sweet Georgia Brown still has an attractive grace and charm.

They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown, I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!).
Everyone is attracted to and enamored with Sweet Georgia Brown and the songwriter is not exaggerating about her appeal.

It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town.
People are enamored and fascinated by Sweet Georgia Brown when she first arrives in town.

Since she came why it's a shame how she's cooled 'em down.

Fellas that she can't get must be fellas that she ain't met.

Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown.
The new woman in town is called Sweet Georgia Brown and is named after the state of Georgia.

All you gals will get the blues, All you pals will surely lose.
The female competition in town will be sad and lose out due to Sweet Georgia Brown's popularity with men.

And, there's but one excuse.
The songwriter only needs to present one explanation for Sweet Georgia Brown's allure.

Now I've told you who she was, And I've told you what she does, Still, give this gal her dues.
