[Verse 1]
In the northeast corner of my face,
And the northwest corner of the self same place,
two bad brown eyes, things do and see
That never are done by the rest of me.
[Chorus]
For I just can't make my eyes behave
Two bad brown eyes I am their slave,
My lips may say run away from me
But my eyes say come and play with me,
And you won't blame poor little me,
I'm sure, 'Cuz I just can't make my eyes behave.
[Verse 2]
In the morning I ashopping go,
At each clerk I look and murmur soft and low
I'll take this please send C.O.D.
But it always comes home marked "Paid" to me.
[Repeat Chorus]
