Brown Eyed Handsome Man

(albüm: Wild Night - 1976)

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

Way back in history, three thousand years back
Every since the world began
There's been a whole lot of good women shed a tear
For a brown-eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble was: brown-eyed handsome man

Flying across the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walking across the sand
She been a-walking thirty miles en route to Bombay
To get a brown-eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown-eyed handsome man

Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
She lost both her arms in a wrestling match
To get brown-eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown-eyed handsome man

Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mother told her: Daughter, go out and find yourself
A brown eyed handsome man
That's what your daddy is: a brown-eyed handsome man

Way back in history, three thousand years
Back every since the world began
There's been a whole lot of good women shed a tear
For a brown-eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble was: brown-eyed handsome man

Two, three 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
