Back
Five Foot Two (Eyes Of Blue)
Sam M. Lewis, Joe Young, 1925

I just saw a maniac, maniac, maniac,
Wild, and tearing his hair,
Jumping like a Jumpin' Jack,
Jumpin' Jack, Jumpin' Jack,
Child, you should have been there,
Laughed so loud I thought that I would cave in,
When I heard that silly, daffy-dilly ravin':
Chorus:
Five foot two, eyes of blue,
But oh! what those five foot could do,
Has anybody seen my girl?
Turned up nose, turned down hose,
Never had no other beaus
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a five foot two,
Covered with fur,
Diamond rings and all those things,
Betcha' life it isn't her.
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl? 
2. Love made him a lunatic, lunatic, lunatic,
Gee! he hollered and cried,
Like a monkey on a stick,
On a stick, on a stick,
He was fit to be tied.
When we asked him for his wife's description,
He just answered all of us with this conniption:
Chorus:
Meaning: The meaning of this song is bascially about the person seeing a maniac. The maniac was looking for his girlfriend. This song is just a humorous song to entertain people. I think that this song has no apparent meaning, It is just a song in which people get entertained by. But I think that this song is very humorous.
Relate to 1920: I think this song relates to the 1920s because the artists wrote this to cheer people up and make them laugh and not keep being depressed. The artist uses rhyme and funny phrases such as "Five foot two, eyes of blue, but oh! what those five foot could do,". The artists also used phrases that don't really make sense, but is there to humour you. Overall this song is just funny, and does not really relate to the 1920s except its to humour you.
