Beautiful Eyes 1909 'Mr. Hamlet of Broadway'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 20 Feb 2004

Girls, I have a secret,
if you'll listen I will tell,
it's so romantic;
met a charming gentleman and honest,
he's so swell,
I'm almost frantic!
I can hardly tell you how,
it really came about,
but somehow, he has me in a trance;
now you've gained my confidence,
I'll let it all come out,
for all he ever gave me was a glance.

Beautiful eyes, he had such beautiful eyes,
he told such beautiful lies,
he had me hypnotized, mesmerized,
Beautiful eyes,
I never seemed to get wise;
he called me such pretty things,
then he took all my rings,
but he had such beautiful eyes

Beautiful eyes, he had such beautiful eyes,
he told such Beautiful lies,
he had me hypnotized, mesmerized,
Beautiful eyes,
I never seemed to get wise;
but he was such a good friend,
all my money he'd spend,
but he had such beautiful eyes.

Ain't it awful Mabel,
when your sweetheart proves untrue,
they're all deceiving,
all the foolish things you did will
then come back to you,
your heart is grieving;
Papa's little ducky dear,
who loves oo till oo die,
and all those kind of things he'll say to you;
he'd fight the world, he'd conquer all,
his love was fond and true.
and then you will remember with a sigh:

Beautiful eyes, he had such beautiful eyes,
he told such beautiful lies,
he had me hypnotized, mesmerized,
Beautiful eyes,
I never seemed to get wise;
he called me such pretty things,
then he took all my rings,
but he had such beautiful eyes

Beautiful eyes, he had such beautiful eyes,
he told such Beautiful lies,
he had me hypnotized, mesmerized,
Beautiful eyes,
I never seemed to get wise;
but he was such a good friend,
all my money he'd spend,
but he had such beautiful eyes.
