Brown-Eyed Handsome Man
Arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sittin' on the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney
Said you better free that brown eyed man (if you want your job)
You better free that brown eyed man
Flyin' 'cross the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walkin' 'cross the sand
She'd been a-walkin' 30 miles en route to Bombay
To meet a brown eyed handsome man
A brown eyed handsome man
Way back in history, three thousand years
In fact, ever since the world began
Been a whole lotta good looking women
Sheddin' tears over a brown eyed handsome man
That's right, a brown eyed handsome man
C'mon now
Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
She lost both her arms in a wrestlin' match
To meet a brown eyed handsome man
She really done it, a brown eyed handsome man
Two-three the count, with nobody on
He hit a high-fly into the stand
And he was rounded third, and he was headed for home
It was a brown eyed handsome man
A brown eyed handsome man
Way back in history, three thousand years
Back ever since the world began
Let me tell you, there's been a whole lot of a shaking going on
Over a brown eyed handsome man
Jerry Lee said it, a brown eyed handsome man
Hang in there now, a brown eyed handsome man
Oh come on, a brown eyed handsome man
I said a brown eyed handsome man
A brown eyed handsome man
He was sittin' on the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney
Said you better free that brown eyed man (if you want your job)
You better free that brown eyed man
Flyin' 'cross the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walkin' 'cross the sand
She'd been a-walkin' 30 miles en route to Bombay
To meet a brown eyed handsome man
A brown eyed handsome man
Way back in history, three thousand years
In fact, ever since the world began
Been a whole lotta good looking women
Sheddin' tears over a brown eyed handsome man
That's right, a brown eyed handsome man
C'mon now
Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
She lost both her arms in a wrestlin' match
To meet a brown eyed handsome man
She really done it, a brown eyed handsome man
Two-three the count, with nobody on
He hit a high-fly into the stand
And he was rounded third, and he was headed for home
It was a brown eyed handsome man
A brown eyed handsome man
Way back in history, three thousand years
Back ever since the world began
Let me tell you, there's been a whole lot of a shaking going on
Over a brown eyed handsome man
Jerry Lee said it, a brown eyed handsome man
Hang in there now, a brown eyed handsome man
Oh come on, a brown eyed handsome man
I said a brown eyed handsome man
A brown eyed handsome man
