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 been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to Bombay. 
To get a brown eyed handsome man 
Her destination was 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 

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 

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 get brown eyed handsome man 
She fought and won herself a 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
