Georgy Girl
Ray Conniff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey there, Georgy girl
Swinging down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever
See the loneliness there inside you

Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by
Could it be you just don't try
Or is it the clothes you wear

You're always window shopping
But never stopping to buy
So shed those dowdy feathers
And fly a little bit

Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide
And oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see
A new Georgy girl

Inside you

Hey there, Georgy girl
Dreaming of the someone you could be
Life is a reality
You can't always run away

Don't be so scared of changing
And rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down
From the shelf a little bit

Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide
And oh, what a change there'd be
And then the world would see
A new Georgy girl

A new Georgy girl




A new Georgy girl
A new Georgy girl

Overall Meaning

The song "Georgy Girl" by Ray Conniff is a catchy and upbeat tune with a deeper message about self-discovery and self-improvement. The titular Georgy girl is described as swinging down the street, appearing fancy-free to those around her. However, the singer suggests that there is a hidden loneliness within her that no one can see. The song then turns to the fact that men seem to pass her by, asking if it is perhaps due to the clothes she wears or if she simply doesn't try hard enough. Georgy girl is described as always window shopping but never buying anything, suggesting a hesitancy or fear of change.


The chorus of the song encourages Georgy girl to shed her "dowdy feathers" and fly a little bit, to bring out the love she is hiding inside herself, and make a change that the world could see. The song is ultimately about embracing oneself fully, stopping to hide and starting to take action towards creating the life and person that one wants to be. It encourages Georgy girl to not be scared of changing and rearranging herself, and to take the time to jump down from the shelf a little bit.
