No matter where you've been, sir,
No matter what you've seen,
You'll never frown
On Baby Brown,
That neat sweet Georgia queen!

She's sure some jolly friend, sir,
At just past seventeen,
There's none in town
Like Baby Brown,
That neat sweet Georgia queen!

Cutin', pertin',
Goddam flirtin',
Fling, you know the rest!
Can't help flirtin',
Makes that curtain
String down on my vest!

She's always bound to win, sir,
I'm sayin' just what I mean!
My money's down
On Baby Brown,
That neat sweet Georgia queen!

Yes!
Kick it out there!
Yes!
Yes!
Ah, toot that thing, boy!
Oh, this is out of tune!
Oh, stop it now!

Oh, no matter where you've been,
No matter what you've seen,
Never frown
On Baby Brown,
The neat sweet Georgia queen!

Oh, what a friend, sir,
Just past seventeen,
None in town
Like Baby Brown,
That Georgia Queen!

(scat)
You know the rest!
Ha-ha!
And I'm flirtin',
That's certain!
Oh mercy!
Oh, it's the best!
Ah-ha-ha!
Yes, I'm flrtin' with xxxx?
Oh, the money's down
On Baby Brown,
That's the Georgia queen!
Well alright then!
