Georgie Porgie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the singer/songwriter, see Georgie Porgie (producer).
Georgie Porgie is a nursery rhyme which some people see as an early reference to sexual harassment:
- Georgie Porgie, Puddin' and Pie,
- Kissed the girls and made them cry,
- When the boys came out to play
- Georgie Porgie ran away.
The lyrics to "Georgie Porgie" are thought to refer to the courtier George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham (1592-1628). King James I took Villiers as his lover, though his most notorious affair was with Anne of Austria (1601-1666), who was Queen Consort of France.
