She just got here yesterday
Things are hot here now they say
There's a new gal in town
Gals are jealous, there's no doubt

All the guys just rave about Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown
And ever since she came, the common folks all claim, say

No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and wanna 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's cooled 'em down
Fellas that she can't get must be fellas that she ain't met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown

All you gals will get the blues, all you pals will surely lose
And, there's but one excuse
Now I've told you who she was
And I've told you what she does
Still, give this gal her dues
This pretty maiden's prayer is answered anywhere

No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!)

All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows for one dollar down
Fellas, won'tcha tip your hats
Oh boy, ain't she the cats?
Who's that mister, ain't her sister
It's Sweet Georgia Brown

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
