Count Basie

William "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904 – April 26, 1984) was an American jazz pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer. His mother first taught him piano and he started performing in his teens. Dropping out of school, he learned to operate lights for vaudeville and improvised to accompany silent films at a local theatre in his town of Red Bank, New Jersey. By 16, he increasingly played jazz piano at parties, resorts and other venues. In 1924, he went to Harlem, where his performing career expanded; he toured with groups to the major jazz cities of Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. In 1929 he joined Bennie Moten's band in Kansas City, and played with them until Moten's death in 1935. more »

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 cry for sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you just why; you know I don't lie, not much

'Cause it's been said that she knocks 'em dead
When she lands in town
What a shame, what a shame
How she cools 'em down

Fellers she can't get are fellers she ain't met
Georgia named her
Georgia claimed her
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
They all sigh, wanna cry for sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you just why; you know I don't lie, not much

'Cause it's been said she knocks 'em dead
When she lands in town
What a shame, what a shame
How she cools 'em down

Fellers she can't get are fellers she ain't met
Georgia named her
Georgia claimed her
Sweet Georgia Brown

No gal, not a gal got a shade on Georgia Brown
Two feet, so neat, that Georgia Brown
They all wanna sigh and wanna cry
For Georgia Brown

Listen while I tell ya
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know I don't lie
No tips the ? strips for sweet Georgia Brown
They like clothes at fashion with one dollar down

Fellers she can't get are fellers she ain't met
Well, oh boy, tiff, you had to row joy, she's a catch
She's no cow, got a shade on sweet
She got two left feet, but oh-so neat

She got money and clothes and diamonds too
There's just nothing that gal can't do
She's got the guys all hangin' around
How she really cools 'em down

Georgia named her
Georgia claimed her
Sweet Georgia
Sweet Georgia Brown

Georgia named her
Georgia claimed her
That old gal called
Georgia Brown
