Oh arrested on charges of unemployment
|
He was sitting in the witness stand
|
The judge's wife called up the district attorney
|
Said you free that brown eyed man
|
You want your job you better free
|
That brown eyed man
|
|
Flying across the desert in a TWA,
|
I saw a woman walking across the sand
|
She'd been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to Bombay
|
To meet a brown eyed handsome man
|
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man
|
|
Way back in history three thousand years
|
In fact ever since the world began
|
There's been a whole lot of good women shedding tears
|
Over a brown eyed handsome man
|
A lot of trouble with a brown eyed handsome man
|
|
Well a beautiful a daughter couldn't make up her mind
|
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
|
Her mother told her, "Darlin' go out and find yourself
|
A brown eyed handsome man
|
That's what your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man"
|
|
Well the Milo de Venus was a beautiful lass
|
She had the world in the palm of her hand
|
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
|
To win a brown eyed handsome man
|
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man
|
|
Well-a two, three the count with nobody on
|
He hit a high fly into the stands
|
A-rounding third he was a-heading for home
|
It was a brown eyed handsome man
|
That won the game it was a brown eyed handsome man
|
