Comical Eyes 1909

When I first met Rufus Brown,
'twas in the park, after dark,
On a bench we sat us down,
then he began to spark:
"Tell me, what's your name," says he,
and I replies, "Call me, Lize,"
He says: "Well, that sounds good to me,"
as he softly sighs,
just then the moon came shining down so fine,
I get a good peek at this friend of mine.

My, but that man has comical eyes,
one looked to the floor,
one looked to the skies,
goodness me! if that coon tries,
he'll surely have me mesmerized;
and when he says: I loves you, Lize,"
softly sighs and rolls dem eyes,
I laughs right out till I nearly dies,
Good! Lord! What comical eyes.

My, but that man has comical eyes,
one looked to the floor,
one looked to the skies,
goodness me! if that coon tries,
he'll surely have me mesmerized;
and when he says: I loves you, Lize,"
softly sighs and rolls dem eyes,
I laughs right out till I nearly dies,
Good! Lord! What comical eyes.

I've seen lots of funny sights,
and quite a few strangers, too,
But in all my days and nights
such eyes I never knew,
crossed between brown, blue and black,
this may seem queer,
but here's a fact;
when he cries, tears roll down his back,
and up his forehead climb,
I never saw such eyes grow on a face,
to tell the truth, not any other place.

My, but that man has comical eyes,
one looked to the floor,
one looked to the skies,
goodness me! if that coon tries,
he'll surely have me mesmerized;
and when he says: I loves you, Lize,"
softly sighs and rolls dem eyes,
I laughs right out till I nearly dies,
Good! Lord! What comical eyes.

My, but that man has comical eyes,
one looked to the floor,
one looked to the skies,
goodness me! if that coon tries,
he'll surely have me mesmerized;
and when he says: I loves you, Lize,"
softly sighs and rolls dem eyes,
I laughs right out till I nearly dies,
Good! Lord! What comical eyes.
