Richard Thompson - Georgie On A Spree

georgie on a spree

A D B7 E
me mammy told me , isabel , now dont stay out too late
A D B7 E
one day theyll throw you out of school so get yourself a steady date
C# F#m B7 E
but georgie meets me every night , we go out and we have a bite
C# F#m B7 E
eyes of blue , and money too , hes rattling the garden gate ,
D E
and i can hardly wait

chorus :
A D A
when georgies on a spree all the girls are jealous of me
E F#m B7 E
cause im the one he spends his money on , we spend it , one two three ,
A D C#
driving in his chevrolet im perfect company
D A E A
hes the king and im his queen when georgies on a spree .

we dont see bad company , we mix it with the best
rubbing shoulders with the rich and no time for the rest
when i see something that i need my georgie buys the street for me
and when were tired of the ritz hes got a little nest
where i put him to the test .

chorus

one day georgie hung his head and sadly he did say
little girl , im leaving you , i have to go away;
but ill be back in a week or two and ill be thinking just of you
sit beside your telephone until that lucky day
when i come home to stay

chorus +
hes the king and im his queen
when georgies on a spree
