Lyrics
- 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 thought that I would cave in
When I heard that, silly, daffy dilly ravin’
Chorus
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
Flapper, yes sir! one of those
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a five foot two
Covered with fur
Diamond rings and all those things
Butcha’ 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
