The Earnest of Being George Lyrics

You better run just as fast as you can, I've got no reason to try.
You did it to me and I'm takin' a stand. You've got a reason to cry.
Fairy stories in the penny arcade.
You bought my love and I paid.
I'm not trying to make history.
You could have been good to me. (music)
Fairy stories in the penny arcade. You bought my love and I paid.
I'm not trying to make history. You could have been good to me.
Spent my life a-makin' my love to you. I've got no reason to try.
Got no reason left for makin' you blue. You've got a reason to cry.
Fairy stories in the penny arcade.
You bought my love and I paid.
I'm not trying to make history.
You could have been good to me.
You better run just as fast as you can.
You better run just as fast as you can .. repeat and fade

I have a question about the tittle of this song. Why do they mean with "the earnest of being George"? Thanks of advance!

It's obviously a play on Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Ernest."
