Five Foot Two Eyes Of Blue
Patty Pravo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
All dressed up in fancy clothes
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a five foot two
Covered in fur
Diamond rings and all those things
Bet-cha life it isn't her
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl?

Turned up nose, turned down hose
All dressed up in fancy clothes
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a five foot two
Covered in fur
Diamond rings and all those things
Bet-cha life it isn't her
But could she love, could she woo?




Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl?

The song "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue" by Patty Pravo is a playful and catchy tune with a hint of romantic longing. The lyrics are sung from the perspective of someone searching for their "girl," who is described as five feet two inches tall with blue eyes. Despite her diminutive stature, the singer explains that "what those five foot could do" is impressive and worthy of attention. The lyrics then describe the girl's physical appearance, including her turned-up nose, turned-down hose, and fancy clothes. The singer asks if anyone has seen her and contemplates whether the girl in question could love and woo him.


The playful nature of the song is evident in the use of rhyming and repetition. The "turned up nose, turned down hose" line repeats twice, and the chorus is repeated throughout the song.
