Hey there, Georgy boy

Here's a farewell version of the song in honor of our former Illinois governor. He just lost his appeal in the federal appellate court.

Watch the 1968 rendition on YouTube and sing along!

Georgy Girl - The Seekers 1967 (parody version) by Dane Ronvik

Hey there, Georgy boy
Selling out our state so fancy-free
Never thought that we would ever see the corruption there - around you
Hey there, Georgy boy
How did laws and justice pass you by?
Could it be you didn't try and did it catch up to you?

You're always wheeling-dealing and often stealing but why?
Just shed those greedy feelings and fly - to prison now

Hey there, Georgy boy
There's another Georgy deep inside
Show some honesty and pride and, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy boy

[Instrumental Interlude]

Hey there, Georgy boy
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 not about your personal wealth - it's government

Hey there, Georgy boy
There's another Georgy deep inside
Show us some respect and pride and, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy boy!

(Hey there, Georgy boy)
Wake up, Georgy boy
(Hey there, Georgy boy)
Come on, Georgy boy

[Fade]

(Hey there, Georgy boy)
Wake up, Georgy boy
