Dad used to sing this to my mum...She was five foot two with blue eyes...he also said she was the only woman who ever gave him a black eye, I remember cause the fist passed my nose before landing on his eye......Bit suprised but laugh now...
Just worked this out on guitar as I'm experimenting with some jazz to add to my repertoire. Super song. Love this version. I might need pie and peas for tea to get the trumpet solo.
Actually the song predates Ray Henderson by over a decade and both titles are correct. Henderson was responsible for arranging the already written music into the most popular and well known version we know today but he's not responsible for its lyrics.
@@music4thesoul80Sam Lewis and Joseph Young took credit for writing the lyrics in 1925 but Jack Mahoney wrote these words in 1914: "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, Bet your life it isn't her, But could she love, could she woo, Could she, could she, could she coo! Has anybody seen my girl? Sounds to me like he was ripped off by Lewis & Young. Also the music was probably written by Percy Wenrich but 'borrowed' by Ray Henderson.😮
It's funny, when I was a teenager I used to see old black and white pictures of models like these from the 20s and think they were ugly. My idea of 'hot' back then was Pamela Anderson haha. Now I see these old pics and I think they look gorgeous. I think as you become a grown man, you learn what true beauty is .
The song definitely had a copyright, you didn't look very hard. Sheet music copyright 1925 by Leo Feist, Inc.

Why dont we hear this anymore! I love this song. The 40's had a great era.
This song was already old by the ‘40s.
this is from the 20s
Nobody is stopping you from listening to those songs.

WOW !! THIS SONG IS IN TRUE STEREO !!!

Great old song
Love this song and era where it originated.
A correction for the subtitles at 0:28: It's "turned down hose," not "turned up hose." It was the racy fashion of the time to roll the stockings down.
My grandma use to sing this to me as a boy.
Mine too...💛💚💛
Play this at 1.25 speed for a better version.
you're definitely right
Great track. The actual title is "five foot two, eyes of blue" by ray henderson.

Nobody:
Literally nobody ever:
Curley: 0:54
Has anybody seen my GAL ?
But oh, what those five foot COULD do
Turned up nose. Turned DOWN hose...
Never had no other BEAUX
Try this at 1.25 speed. It's a little more jazzy, ...like hearing it in a 1920s speakeasy.
Love the song, too bad the captions don't match the words being sung.
As of 1/1/2021 the copyright ran out and the song is in the public domain, but I suppose that you could copyright a unique arrangement.
Love it!
nice
like the tempo
Fun to listen to
my grandma would sing song to me as a boy

Subtitles- the plural of beau is beaux.
Is this the Charleston song,? The one they do the dance to?
Fox trot
Those were real women.
cuchy cu... cuchy cu... baby I love you! how sweet!
the lyrics are horribly wrong
Get the words right. "Turned up nose, turned down hose".

23 skidoo. Oh! You kid!
Hey, that's not nice !
The lyrics are incorrect. It should be "flapper, yes sir, one of those" not "and she has no other beaus".
Well I can't share it on face book, even in a message. What a bunch of crap!
