capital offense
what is this thing all about
the capital offense
the bleaker people mumble
while the rhumba people dance
save your pennies for a quarter
save your seals for a prize
but get out quick before Georgia says goodbye
if you wanna play in her grand back yard
there's a price to pay for her gracious favor
she loves you for a little while but lets you fall so hard
'cause she doesn't know you of for what you labor
what is this thing all about
the capital offense
the bleaker people mumble
while the rhumba people dance
save your pennies for a quarter
save your seals for a prize
but get out quick before Georgia says goodbye
her bounty is of splendor her bosom laid with grass
eternity is in her reach if you can find it there
she locks her iron door at night though many have a pass
she gives too much and takes too much more than her share
what is this thing all about
the capital offense
the bleaker people mumble
while the rhumba people dance
save your pennies for a quarter
save your seals for a prize
but get out quick before Georgia says goodbye
but whatever you do
don't let her go
whatever you do
make her stay
whatever you do
don't let her go
you love her anyway
chorus
she'll knock you down and drag you home and leave you there for dead
and be sure her daddy didn't even see you knockin'
she'll spend your wad your last thin dime she'll soak up all your bread
and her skin for you is thin 'cause time's clockin'
