The Beatles Lyrics, album "The Early Tapes of The Beatles"
Oh ain't she sweet,
Well see her walking down that street.
Yes I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet?Oh ain't she nice,
Well look her over once or twice.
Yes I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she nice?Just cast an eye
In her direction.
Oh me oh my,
Ain't that perfection?Oh I repeat
Well don't you think that's kind of neat?
Yes I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet?Oh ain't she sweet,
Well see her walking down that street.
Well I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet?Oh ain't that nice,
Well look it over once or twice.
Yes I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she nice?Just cast an eye
In her direction.
Oh me oh my,
Ain't that perfection?Oh I repeat
Well don't you think that's kind of neat?
Yes I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet?Oh ain't she sweet,
Well see her walking down that street.
Well I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet?
Well I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet

No gal made has got a shade
On sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, oh, so neat
Has sweet Georgia Brown!
They all sigh, and want to die
For sweet Georgia Brown!
I'll tell you just why
You know I don't lie, not much:
It's been said she knocks 'em dead
When she lands in town!
Since she came, why it's a shame
How she cools them down!
Fellas she can't get
Must be fellas she ain't met!
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her
Sweet Georgia Brown!No gal made has got a shade
On sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, oh, so neat
Has sweet Georgia Brown!
They all sigh, and want to die
For sweet Georgia Brown!
I'll tell you just why
You know I don't lie; not much:
All those gifts those courters give
To sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows
With one dollar down
Oh, boy! tip your hat!
Oh, joy! she's the cat!
Who's that, mister? 'tain't a sister!
Sweet Georgia Brown!
On sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, oh, so neat
Has sweet Georgia Brown!
They all sigh, and want to die
For sweet Georgia Brown!
I'll tell you just why
You know I don't lie, not much:
It's been said she knocks 'em dead
When she lands in town!
Since she came, why it's a shame
How she cools them down!
Fellas she can't get
Must be fellas she ain't met!
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her
Sweet Georgia Brown!No gal made has got a shade
On sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, oh, so neat
Has sweet Georgia Brown!
They all sigh, and want to die
For sweet Georgia Brown!
I'll tell you just why
You know I don't lie; not much:
All those gifts those courters give
To sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows
With one dollar down
Oh, boy! tip your hat!
Oh, joy! she's the cat!
Who's that, mister? 'tain't a sister!
Sweet Georgia Brown!

As I was slowly passing
An orphan's home one day
I stopped for just a little while
To watch the children play
Alone a boy was standing
And when I asked him why
He turned with eyes that could not see
And he began to cryI'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like the flowers
I'm growing wild
I got no mummy's kisses
I got no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's childNo mummy's arms to hold me
Or sue me when I cry
'cos sometimes I feel so lonesome
I wish that I could die
I'll walk the streets of heaven
Where all blinds can seeAnd just like for the other kids
It will be a home for me
An orphan's home one day
I stopped for just a little while
To watch the children play
Alone a boy was standing
And when I asked him why
He turned with eyes that could not see
And he began to cryI'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like the flowers
I'm growing wild
I got no mummy's kisses
I got no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's childNo mummy's arms to hold me
Or sue me when I cry
'cos sometimes I feel so lonesome
I wish that I could die
I'll walk the streets of heaven
Where all blinds can seeAnd just like for the other kids
It will be a home for me
Ready, set, go man go
I got a girl that I love soI'm ready, ready, ready Teddy [x3]
I'm ready, ready, ready to rock and rollGoing to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock and roll, baby, she's the apple of my eye
All the flat top cats and all the dungaree dolls
Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball
The joint is really jumping, the cats are going wild
The music really sends me, I dig that crazy styleGoing to kick off my shoes, roll up my faded jeans
Grab my rock and roll, baby, pour on the steam
I shuffle to the left, I shuffle to the right
Going to rock and roll to the early, early night
I got a girl that I love soI'm ready, ready, ready Teddy [x3]
I'm ready, ready, ready to rock and rollGoing to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie
She's my rock and roll, baby, she's the apple of my eye
All the flat top cats and all the dungaree dolls
Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball
The joint is really jumping, the cats are going wild
The music really sends me, I dig that crazy styleGoing to kick off my shoes, roll up my faded jeans
Grab my rock and roll, baby, pour on the steam
I shuffle to the left, I shuffle to the right
Going to rock and roll to the early, early night
