1. Has Anybody Seen J.C.?

Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue

I JUST SAW A MA-NI-AC, MA-NI-AC, MA-NI-AC,
WILD, AND TEAR-ING HIS HAIR,
JUMP-ING LIKE A JUMP-IN' JACK, JUMP-IN' JACK, JUMP-IN' JACK,
CHILD, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE,
LAUGHED SO LOUD I THOUGH THAT I WOULD CAVE IN,
WHEN I HEARD THAT SIL-LY, DAF-FY-DIL-LY RAV-IN':

LOVE MADE HIM A LU-NA-TIC,LU-NA-TIC,LU-NA-TIC,
GEE! HE HOL-LERED AND CRIED,
LIKE A MON-KEY ON A STICK,ON A STICK,ON A STICK,
HE WAS FIT TO BE TIED.
WHEN WE ASKED HIM FOR HIS WIFE'S DE-SCRIP-TION,
HE JUST AN-SWERED ALL OF US WITH THIS CON-NIP-TION:

Chorus
FIVE FOOT TWO, EYES OF BLUE,
BUT OH! WHAT THOSE FIVE FOOT COULD DO,
HAS AN-Y-BOD-Y SEEN MY GIRL?
TURNED UP NOSE, TURNED DOWN HOSE,
NEV-ER HAD NO OTH-ER BEAUS
HAS_ AN-Y-BOD-Y SEEN MY GIRL?
NOW IF YOU RUN IN-TO A FIVE FOOT TWO,
COV-ERED WITH FUR.,
DIA-MOND RINGS AND ALL THOSE THINGS,
BET-CHA' LIFE IT IS-N'T HER.
BUT COULD SHE LOVE, COULD SHE WOO?
COULD SHE, COULD SHE, COULD SHE COO?
HAS AN-Y-BOD-Y SEEN MY GIRL?
