Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Betcha' life it isn't here
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl?
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 here
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
The lyrics of Baba Brooks & His Band's song Blues in 2-3 is an upbeat tune describing a man searching for his girl. He gives a vivid description of her- five-foot-tall, blue eyes, turned up nose, turned down hose, and she never had any other beaus. He asks if anyone has seen his girl, expressing his desperation to find her. The song then goes on to say that if you see a girl who fits his description, it is not her, even if she has diamond rings and furs. The man then wonders if she could love and woo him, and he ends by asking once again if anyone has seen his girl.
