Royce Webb Many of us became jazz fans as kids without realizing it by listening to Sweet Georgia Brown, the jaunty theme song of the Harlem Globetrotters. But few of us considered that the song was actually about a woman named Georgia Brown, and that she was sweet in ways that we wouldn t be able to understand for a few years. This week I got to thinking about the song and wondering about the lyrics.
Gals are jealous, there's no doubt.
All the guys just rave about Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown. No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown. Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown. 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.
