Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Without hurting you
How can I make you see?
This might mean everything to you
But it don't mean nothing to me
And whilst your hangers on
Are laughing nervously
You'll lock them in your penthouse suite
Then you'll throw away the key
[Verse 2]
Gorgeous George
The last of the go-getters
Gorgeous George
A dandy to the letter
You really should know better
Gorgeous George
[Verse 3]
Such exquisite taste
From your head to toes
Stuck inside your ladies chambers
Powdering your nose
And now your holding court
With the Pearly King
Whilst outside, on your balcony
This mocking bird will sing
[Verse 4]
Gorgeous George
The last of the go-getters
Gorgeous George
A dandy to the letter
You really should know better
[Verse 5]
You needn't walk so proud
You needn't talk so loud
You're just a face in the crowd
And you should know it
You fit from floor to floor
Buying up the store
But you still want more
So you blow it
Yes, a little, blow it
[Verse 6]
I've a life of my own
That you refuse to see
One hundred at your beck and call
So why did you pick on me?
Should I return that call?
Talk to your answer phone?
Just make sure that the blinds are drawn
And pretend you're not at home
[Verse 7]
Gorgeous George
The last of the go-getters
Gorgeous George
A dandy to the letter
You really should know better
Gorgeous George
