Brown Eyed Girl
Jake Shimabukuro/Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefer Band Lyrics

Hey where did we go
Asking where the singer and the addressee went in the past

Days when the rains came
Referring to a time when it used to rain heavily

Down in a hollow
Being in a low-lying area

Playin' a new game
Trying out a new activity for the first time

Laughin' and a runnin'
Engaging in playful activity while laughing and running

Skippin' and a jumpin'
Moving around with nimble steps and jumping

In the misty mornin' fog
Being in a foggy environment during the early morning hours

Ah with our hearts a thumpin'
Feeling excited and anxious at the same time

Was you my brown eyed girl
Asking if the addressee was the artist's brown eyed girl in the past

You my brown eyed girl
Addressing the addressee as the artist's brown eyed girl

Now what ever happened
Expressing confusion about what happened in the past

Tuesday is oh so slow
Referring to a specific day of the week as being slow

Goin' down the old mine with a
Engaging in an activity involving a mine

Transistor radio
Using a portable radio that runs on batteries

Standin' in a sunlit lane
Being in a lane that is illuminated by sunlight

Hidin' 'hind a rainbow's wall
Concealing oneself behind a wall of a rainbow's colors

Slippin' and a slidin' yeah
Moving around while sliding and slipping

All along the waterfall
Being close to a waterfall or following it along its path

It was you my brown eyed girl
Confirming that the addressee was the singer's brown eyed girl

Do you remember when
Asking the addressee if they remember a specific event

We used to sing
Engaging in an activity of singing together

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da
Singing nonsensical syllables in a playful manner

So hard to find my way
Feeling lost or confused while trying to navigate through life

Now that I'm on my own
Being independent and not having anyone to rely on

Thought about it just the other day
Recently reflecting on a past memory or experience

My, where'd the times all gone
Realizing that time has passed quickly and not knowing where it went

Can't remember back then lord
Having trouble recalling events from the past

Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout
Occasionally feeling overwhelmed when reflecting on the past

Makin' love in the green grass
Engaging in an intimate activity on grass that is green in color

Uh behind the stadium
Being in a location behind a stadium

With you my brown eyed girl
Confirming that the addressee was present during the past intimate activity and was the singer's brown eyed girl

Do you remember when
Asking the addressee if they remember another specific event

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da
Singing nonsensical syllables again in a playful manner

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da yeah
Continuing to sing nonsensical syllables while adding a bit of affirmation

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da oh oh oh oh
Singing nonsensical syllables repetitively as a way of enjoying the moment

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da
Singing nonsensical syllables again in a playful manner

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da
Continuing to sing nonsensical syllables playfully

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da oh oh oh oh
Singing nonsensical syllables repetitively as a way of expressing joy and happiness
