Sweet Georgia Brown
Tony Sheridan Lyrics
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.
In Liverpool she even dare
To critize the Beatles' hair.
With their whole fanclub
Standing there
I mean sweet Georgia Brown.
I say this group is absolutely marvellous with the piano, don't you
Think so. Not too commercial, boys, not too commercial!
When it comes to music
Sweet Georgia is known to mind,
Don't buy clothes at fashion shows
But she still looks fine
Snap chicks cry,
They want to die
When Georgie does the twist
I never would try
To tell you just why.
Use your imagination
There's a DJ crazy for her
Living in out home town
Since she came it's a shame
She turns him down
Records that she can get
Are records, they ain't sent him yet
Carolina may have Dina,
But that don't have Georgia Brown.
Oh that sweet Georgia,
Yeah yeah yeah I mean Brown, oh oh oh.
Sweet Georgia Brown.
The lyrics to Tony Sheridan's song Sweet Georgia Brown speak highly of a woman named Georgia Brown, describing her as unique and untouchable.

The songwriter even claims that he can tell us why Georgia Brown is so special, though he never fully elaborates on his reasons.
Later verses reveal that Georgia Brown is a music lover who doesn't care about fashion but still manages to look good. She dances to The Twist, and her moves make girls jealous. The second half of the song goes on to tell a story about a DJ in the town who is "crazy" for Georgia Brown but has been rejected by her. Despite her rejection, the DJ continues to play her records on the air.
Overall, the lyrics to Sweet Georgia Brown create an aura of mystery around the titular character. The singer admires her from afar but never quite explains why she's so amazing.

Referring to the band's piano skills and asking for agreement
Think so. Not too commercial, boys, not too commercial!
They're great, but not popular enough to be commercial - a statement of preference
When it comes to music
On the topic of music
Sweet Georgia is known to mind,
Georgia is particular about her music
Don't buy clothes at fashion shows
She's not interested in mainstream fashion
But she still looks fine
Nevertheless, she knows how to dress well

Young women are eager for her attention
They want to die
They're overwhelmed by her greatness

When Georgia dances the twist
I never would try
I can't even attempt to explain why
To tell you just why.
It's inexplicable
Use your imagination
It's up to you to imagine
There's a DJ crazy for her
A DJ is infatuated with her
Living in our home town
He's from the same town as us
Since she came it's a shame
He's had feelings for her since she arrived at town
She turns him down
She's rejected him
Records that she can get
The records that she has access to
Are records, they ain't sent him yet
They're not the kind of records that he wants
Carolina may have Dina,
Carolina has someone else
But that don't have Georgia Brown.
But she doesn't have Georgia
Oh that sweet Georgia,
Ah, Georgia
Yeah yeah yeah I mean Brown, oh oh oh.
That's who I'm referring to - the only Georgia I know - the one who's also known as Brown.
Sweet Georgia Brown.
And that's all of who she is.

Yay! I'm Georgia Brown and this is the first time I've heard this! I knew it existed, but thank you for uploading.

this was the first album I heard from Beatles. Nothing beats this.
@PsyVen
Love it! I'm familiar with the Globetrotters', Louis Armstrong's, and Count Basie's versions, but this puts a new spin on the classic.
