I sought her visage in querulous quest,
When oh, what a surprise!
Plump in the midst of a "puddingy" face,
Coarse-cut in feature, devoid of grace,
Nature capricious had chosen to place
Two lovely brown eyes!

_Chorus._

Two lovely brown eyes!
Oh, what a surprise!
There on each side of a salient "snub,"
Two lovely brown eyes:

Brown? Ah, yes! But, alack! alack!
The brown was fringed with a halo of _black_,
Fruit, it was plain of some marital thwack,
Oh, what a surprise!
"_She_," sighed the girl, "has a beautiful chump,
Though she _do_ seem to 'ave got the 'ump.
_Them_ pair o' lamps never felt a thump,
_Them_ lovely brown eyes!"

_Chorus._

Two lovely brown eyes!
Oh, what a surprise!
Something seemed telling that man he was wrong,
Two lovely brown eyes!
