GORGIE PORGIE

GORGIE PORGIE


The origins of the lyrics to "Georgie Porgie" are English and refer to the courtier George Villiers, 1st duke of Duke of Buckingham. Villier's good looks also appealed to the ladies and his highly suspect morals were much in question!


Lyrics

Georgie Porgie pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away.

Decoding time

" Georgie porgie pudding and pie"
As we know, his real name is George villers

" kissed the girls and made them cry"

He had a affair with Anne of Austria and the queen of France. He ruined many courtships and caused a lot of scandals.

" when the boys came out to play"

The parliament got angry at the king for standing up to George even though he was sleeping with the queen.

" Georgie Porgie ran away"

It's just as it states. What a wimp, am I right?

Why? Why would they have a baby's death in a lullaby that some of your parents sang to you when you were a child it's not very reassuring

@Eridan_Ampora I was learned that it was about the plague. Because "Ring around the rosie" means it's highly contagous.
"Ashes, ashes" meaning they'd burn the bodies of people who died of the plague.
Lastly "We all fall down" meaning that alot of people got it.
