Hall And Oates Georgie Lyrics

Georgie Lyrics

Georgie was a skinny kid

 Fond of angling, fonder of dangling his feet in the cool

   brook water

 While the Reverend's daughter

 Sat at his side and fluttered his face with the fuzz of a

   dandelion.

 

 Long about noontime

 Floating 'cross the field, Georgie heard the peel of a bell

   being rung by the parson

 Time for his lesson

 As much as he hated it, the preacher was teachin' him to

   play the accordion.

 

 "Don't go Georgie!" said the Reverend's daughter

 "When Daddy comes lookin' we can duck in the water."

 They both went out and dipped down to hide

 But the girl caught her locket on an underwater branch

 and the next thing she knew... she died

 

 Preacher was a sorry mess

 He was cryin', shoutin' 'bout her dyin' and livin' the

   eternal life

 Should 'a seen his wife

 Sobbin' on the ground as the wind rustled round

 and tickled the keys

 Made Georgie's accordion give an awful dyin' wheeze
