Georgia
Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli with the Quintet of the Hot Club Of France Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well let me tell you well no chick made
Could be the same
As Sweet Georgia Brown.
Crazy feet that dance so neat
Has sweet Georgia Brown.
Fella's sigh, and even cry
For sweet Georgia Brown.
I tell you just why
You know I don't lie.
It's been said
She knocks them dead
In any old town.
Since she came right




It's a shame
How she brings them down.

This so reminds me of my late dad out cycling pre war. Classy, smooth and fast. Went out together when I was a brat kid, and did I get a master class in riding and tactics. Dad looked like his hero, Fausto Coppi, smooth and slick on the bike, whilst was an unmade bed! Years later, I'm slick, smooth and cool on the bike whilst my grandson is the unmade bed ,, Thanks dad and Django, you have done more than you will ever know!!
