Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: My Gee Gee from the Fiji Isle
Subject: Lyr Add: MY GEE GEE FROM THE FIJI ISLE
You can hear a 1921 recording of MY GEE GEE FROM THE FIJI ISLE, sung by Emerson Westervelt, at The Internet Archive. His second chorus is different from the first:
CHORUS: Oh, gee! Say, gee! You ought to see my Gee Gee
From the Fiji Isle!
Oh, gee! Gosh, gee! You ought to be with Gee Gee
For a little while.
She has so much charm,
I think I'll sell my farm.
I'm just a deuce(?) while I am here on my land.
I'll be the king while on the Fiji Island.
She's got a father; I love her dear old father.
He's a nice old guy,
'Cause when he meets you, he greets you, and then he tries to eat you
Like a piece of pie.
Ev'ry night he'll invite some good friends to have a bite,
But I'll never be ... till he's lost his appetite.
Oh, gee! Say, gee! You ought to see my Gee Gee
From the Fiji Isle!
