Hermans Hermits - Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter 1965

Mrs. Brown you`ve got a lovely daughter
Girls as sharp as her are somethin` rare
But it`s sad, she doesn`t love me now
She`s made it clear enough it ain`t no good to pine

She wants to return those things I bought her
Tell her she can keep them just the same
Things have changed, she doesn`t love me now
She`s made it clear enough it ain`t no good to pine

Walkin` about, even in a crowd, well
You`ll pick her out, makes a bloke feel so proud

If she finds that I`ve been round to see you (round to see you)
Tell her that I`m well and feelin` fine (feelin` fine)
Don`t let on, don`t say she`s broke my heart
I`d go down on my knees but it`s no good to pine

Walkin` about, even in a crowd, well
You`ll pick her out, makes a bloke feel ..

If she finds that I`ve been round to see you (round to see you)
Tell her that I`m well and feelin` fine (feelin` fine)
Don`t let on, don`t say she`s broke my heart
I`d go down on my knees but it`s no good to pine

Mrs. Brown you`ve got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter)
Mrs. Brown you`ve got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter)
Mrs. Brown you`ve got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter)
Mrs. Brown you`ve got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter)

I see a difference, but I see what you mean. But Herman had at least SOME talent.

[austin teutsch]

One of the first "skiffle" strums to become a major hit record. I saw this live on t.v. as a kid. What a great time to grow up with these guys, the Byrds, the Beatles ect.

Actually this song has a few strategically place rhymes: "Walkin' about, even in a crowd/ well, you'll pick her out/Makes a bloke feel -- so proud". Best pop lyricist who does, quite often, without rhymes: Morrissey. His lyrics are so excellent and well expressed that you don't notice the lack of rhymes.

[Glenn parent]

every mother has a mss browns lovely daughter.

Peter Noone also liked the fact the song had no rhyming lyrics. When it became a hit, he eventually told John Lennon about this accomplishment, and John said, "no one is gonna notice."

[A.W. Smith]

I knew a girl named Brown. She ran off to the Army and I never saw her again.

[David Smith]

chuck norris could kick his ass. joke

CRAP, absolute CRAP!



[52telebender]

Great old song!

[susandiane311]

Sorry. Peter Noone's was born 11/5/1947 and Mrs Brown charted in the Spring of 1965 so he would have been 17.

[susandiane311]

The Bieb's grandpa? Peter was born in 1947 and Justin in 1993 so it could be possible!

(Just kidding, of course)

Lonnie Donegan & His Skiffle Group's 1956 #8 hit "Rock Island Line" predates this . They were also British/
