Hey There, Georgy Girl!
In a lovely park high above the surf in Laguna Beach, Georgia poses on a green lawn. She is short wearing a short, herringbone dress with empire waist. On her feet are flip flops.
Hey there, Georgy girl
There’s another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change there’d be
The world would see a new Georgy girl
–The Seekers (1966)
Gerogy Girl was a 1996 British film starring Lyn Redgrave as Georgy. The title song was a hit for The Seekers. The Seekers were a folk-pop band from Melbourne, Australia. The lyrics to Georgy Girl was written by Jim Dale and the music by Tom Springfield. The video is from The Seekers final performance of the 1960s.
Here is the original as it was released on the LP.
The Seekers: GEORGIE GIRL
Hey there, Georgy girl!
Swingin’ down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see the loneliness there - inside you
Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don’t try or is it the clothes you wear?
You’re always window shopping but never stopping to buy
So shed those dowdy feathers and fly - a little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl!
There’s another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change there’d be
The world would see a new Georgy girl
[Instrumental Interlude]
Hey there, Georgy girl!
Dreamin’ of the someone you could be
Life is a reality, you can’t always run away
Don’t be so scared of changing and rearranging yourself
It’s time for jumping down from the shelf - a little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl!
There’s another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change there’d be
The world would see a new Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Wake up, Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Come on, Georgy girl
