Five Foot Two, Eyes Of Blue Lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young Music by Ray Henderson Performed by Peggy English using the pseudonym "Jane Gray" Piano accompaniment by Rube Bloom Recorded January 28, 1926 Harmony 114-H Jane Gray was simply yet another pseudonym for Peggy English when recording for the Harmony record label. She also recorded as Peggy Britten, Harlem Hannah, and as Lillie Daltry. Recording under different names was indeed somewhat rampant in this early stage of the music business. There is very little biographical information available for Peggy English. She was known as a stage and radio vocalist besides her recording activities during the late 1920s and early 1930s. She was often accompanied by the superb pianist Rube Bloom and she also recorded with an outfit called the University Six that at one point featured trombonist Tommy Dorsey. Five Foot Two, Eyes Of Blue - (the lyrics vary a bit from this recording) Lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young. Music by Ray Henderson, 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 though that I would cave in, When I heard that silly, daffydilly ravin': CHORUS Five foot two, eyes of blue, But, oh! what those five feet 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? 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
