Georgette 1922

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Feb 2005

Right across the way from me
in apartment twentythree
ev'ry night I always see
such a funny pair.
He's a bashful Romeo
and she loves to tease him so
He sighs, oh! How he cries
each time she rolls her eyes:

Georgette, Georgette
I'm wild as can be
I'm all upset 'cause you're teasing me
My ma, my pa, my whole family
they scold me, they told me,
you've got a kick like T.N.T.
I eat, I sleep, but not like I should
Oh! me, Oh! my
why can't you be good?
Once I was gentle and meek
now I'm as wild as a Sheik
I'll get you yet, Georgette.

Georgette, Georgette
I'm wild as can be
I'm all upset 'cause you're teasing me
My ma, my pa, my whole family
they scold me, they told me,
you've got a kick like T.N.T.
I eat, I sleep, but not like I should
Oh! me, Oh! my
why can't you be good?
Once I was gentle and meek
now I'm as wild as a Sheik
I'll get you yet, Georgette.

Ev'ry night it's just the same
and I think that it's a shame
'cause she plays the same old game
but he doesn't care.
When he starts to fuss and pout
she just tries to put him out
He's sore, gets to the door
and then he sings once more.

Georgette, Georgette
I'm wild as can be
I'm all upset 'cause you're teasing me
My ma, my pa, my whole family
they scold me, they told me,
you've got a kick like T.N.T.
I eat, I sleep, but not like I should
Oh! me, Oh! my
why can't you be good?
Once I was gentle and meek
now I'm as wild as a Sheik
I'll get you yet, Georgette.

Georgette, Georgette
I'm wild as can be
I'm all upset 'cause you're teasing me
My ma, my pa, my whole family
they scold me, they told me,
you've got a kick like T.N.T.
I eat, I sleep, but not like I should
Oh! me, Oh! my
why can't you be good?
Once I was gentle and meek
now I'm as wild as a Sheik
I'll get you yet, Georgette.
