 Me mammy told me, Isabel, now don’t stay out too late

One day they’ll throw you out of school so get yourself a steady date

 But Georgie meets me every night, we go out and we have a bite

Eyes of blue, and money too, he’s rattling the garden gate,

 And I can hardly wait—

Chorus

 When Georgie’s on a spree all the girls are jealous of me

 Cause I’m the one he spends his money on, we spend it, one two three,

Driving in his Chevrolet I’m perfect company

He’s the king and I’m his queen when Georgie’s on a spree.

We don’t 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 we’re tired of the Ritz he’s 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, I’m leaving you, I have to go away;

But I’ll be back in a week or two and I’ll be thinking just of you

Sit beside your telephone until that lucky day

When I come home to stay—

Chorus +

He’s the king and I’m his queen

When Georgie’s on a spree
