Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.
