Arrested  on charges of unemployment
 he was sitting in the witness stand.
 The judge's wife called up the District  Attorney
 said 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 been walkin' thirty miles en  route to Bombay
 to reach a brown  eyed handsome man..
Her  destination was a brown  eyed handsome man.
Way  back in history three thousand years,
 back ever since the world began.
 There's been a whole lot of good women shedding  tears
 for a brown  eyed handsome man..
A  lot of trouble..was a brown  eyed handsome man.
The  beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
 between a doctor and a lawyer man.
 Her mother told her darling go out  and find, yourself
 a brown  eyed handsome man..
That's  what your daddy is..a brown  eyed handsome man.
Milo  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,  two, three..the count, with nobody on,
 he hit a high fly into the stand.
 Rounding third he was headed  for home,
 it was a brown  eyed handsome man..
That  won the game..it was a brown  eyed handsome man.
 A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
