Georgie On A Spree 

   A               D           B7                  E 
Me mammy told me, Isabel, now don?t stay out too late
A                          D                B7                      E 
One day they?ll 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, he?s rattling the garden gate,
    D            E
And I can hardly wait?

Chorus:
     A                            D                    A 
When Georgie?s on a spree all the girls are jealous of me
      E                         F#m          B7                E      
Cause I?m the one he spends his money on, we spend it, one two three,
A                            D            C#    
Driving in his Chevrolet I?m perfect company
D                 A                  E              A  
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
