[Verse 1]
He was arrested on charges of unemployment
He was standing at the witness stand
The judge's wife, she told the district attorney
"You better free that brown-eyed man
You want your job, you'd better free that brown-eyed man"

[Verse 2]
Well, I went flying across the desert on a TWA
I saw a woman walking 'cross the sand
She'd been walking thirty miles en route to Bombay
To meet a brown-eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown-eyed handsome man

[Verse 3]
And now way back in history two thousand years
Ever since the world began
There's been a whole lotta good women shedding some tears
Over a brown-eyed handsome man
A lot of trouble with a, a brown-eyed handsome man

[Verse 4]
And the Venus de Milo was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hands
She lost both her arms in a wrestling match
Over a brown-eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a, a brown-eyed handsome man
[Verse 5]
And a beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind 'tween a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mama said, "Darlin', just go out and find yourself a brown-eyed handsome man
Like your real daddy was a brown-eyed handsome man"
Was a brown-eyed handsome man
Don't you know he was a brown-eyed handsome man?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 6]
Well, there was three to the count, there wasn't nobody on
He hit a high fly into the stands
He rounded third, he was headed for home
He was a brown-eyed handsome man
Like Henry Aaron, he was a brown-eyed handsome man
He was a brown-eyed handsome man
Don't you know he was a brown eyed...?

[Outro]
He was arrested on charges of unemployment
He was standing at the witness stand
The judge's wife, she told the district attorney
"You better free that brown-eyed man
You want your job, you better free that brown-eyed
Free that brown-eyed
Free that brown-eyed"
