Returning to their homeland of Australia for a visit, little did they know that their presence would set off a chain of events that would captivate a nation and make their mark on record books.

During this time, the iconic Australian folk group hosted a free concert at the Myer Music Bowl in their hometown of Melbourne. What transpired next was beyond anyone’s wildest expectations.

Lyrics

Hey there, Georgy girlSwinging down the street so fancy-freeNobody you meet could ever see the loneliness there inside youHey there, Georgy girlWhy 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 buySo shed those dowdy feathers and fly a little bit

Hey there, Georgy girlThere’s another Georgy deep insideBring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change there’d beThe world would see a new Georgy girl

Hey there, Georgy girlDreaming of the someone you could beLife is a reality, you can’t always run awayDon’t be so scared of changing and rearranging yourselfIt’s time for jumping down from the shelf a little bit

Hey there, Georgy girlThere’s another Georgy deep insideBring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change there’d beThe world would see a new Georgy girl

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