The Lyrics
Your right eye looks left
Your left eye looks right
Please be my girlfriend
Cause you're out of sight!
Pitching and a bumblin', hey, hey
Tripping and a stumblin'
Going for our morning walk and (who--)
Who's seeing double? It's you!
My cross eyed girl
And you, my cross eyed girl
Oh, how did it happen?
That morning was so slow
Sitting down at the front desk
You were...staring down at your nose
Mama tried to tell you, "Stop that!
Or they will get stuck that way!"
Seven hours later
She drove to the eye doctor with you
My cross eyed girl
You my cross eyed girl
The doctor gave a test
You had to read:
F
B C
P T E O
B Z F E D O
Try line five:
F C L T B
T E P O L F D Z
Just like that.
So hard to find your way
Taking out telephone poles
I saw you just the other day
Down in a hole
I hope you wouldn't cheat on me
I know you've got a wandering eye, but
It made me feel so good when
You said you'd always fall for me
My cross eyed girl
And you, my crossed eyed girl
The doctor gave a test
You had to read:
F
B C
P T E O
B Z F E D O
Try line five:
F C L T B
T E P O L F D Z
Just like that.
Your left eye looks right
Please be my girlfriend
Cause you're out of sight!
Pitching and a bumblin', hey, hey
Tripping and a stumblin'

My cross eyed girl
And you, my cross eyed girl
Oh, how did it happen?

Or they will get stuck that way!"

Excellent, Jeff! And the eye chart layout was inspired...555
Brilliant, Jeff, fantastic! And I agree with Kristof --- the eye chart sections are wonderfully original and creative. 555!
Thanks Kristof, Johnny!
Dammit! I wanted to be the first one to praise the BEYOND brilliant eye chart bit...SOOO good! 5s!
5s from here, Jeff! Loved the lines '..stare down at your nose' and '..wandering eye' lol! Good job.
I thought the eye chart was going to be: 2 I'S U R 2 I'S U B I C U R 2 I'S 4 ME
Wonderfully creative, Jeff - the title, er, crossed my mind a while back but I didn't have the inspiration. And no way I'd have come up with the eye chart :-)
All right Jeff! Yes, the eye chart is brilliant. But I also got a kick out of the wandering eye part, and her taking out telephone poles and falling into holes...
When I have time, I'm recording a simple track of this and sending it to you. I think it would be hilarious with you singing the eye chart. Ask me about it in a week or so to motivate me. I have this idea that Mari could be singing the eye chart with you...only wrong! (Unless you want to have your wife do it)
Great work on a great song 5 5 5
Rick, sounds great! Having Mari do it is fine...I'll bug you about it in a week =)
+++Restoring my previous vote of 5-5-5 that was lost due to system crash+++
+++The system crash to which I refer is the 7-28-04 Amiright vote-bug+++
That's great.
Jeff, this is beyond Brilliant! Even though I havent read many parodies yet today, its my parody of the day
My new favorite line(s) = "I hope you wouldn't cheat on me / I know you've got a wandering eye..."
Excellent Jeff! I loved the eye chart thing too!
What everyone else said. I love love this. Looking forward to the recording.
(SOTM) 5's
(SOTM) :-) ( = Smiley of cross eyes girl looking straight at this parody!)
(SOTM) Not sure if I can "over-comment," but you know I LOVE LOVE LOVE this parody! Excellent! 5s...
SOTM I haven't heard the original in years, but by reading yours I got the entire song back in my head. Bah! 5^3
(SOTM) DKTOS...good read...:)
SOTM-I voted...
Already working on this, Jeff. Email me private.
Jeff - Very clever & very funny. I must have missed this due to the terrible "Crash of 07/28" incident. 5's...
SOTM - as I said before....
(SOTM July) S E E A B O V E
Cute. "Eye" thank you for the chuckles, wish you could "see" your way to write another verse or two. 554
(SOTM) Tr-optical bliss. That's the best I can do. I second Arwen's comment. (the thirteenth one... no, the twenty second...) and the dozens of other comments on how briliant the eye chart layout was. Well done!
(SOTM) Best one I've read in a long time, very funny. 5's
SOTM, already voted 5 5 5 and commented. This is still brilliant
SOTM -- Fave lines: "I hope you wouldn't cheat on me -- I know you've got a wandering eye, but"
I still love it. Brilliant, too, how you took advantage of Chucky's center-justified lines.
(SOTM) This one made me LOL!
Outtasight; nothing to add really. Great stuff.
Had me chuckling Jeff, good job.

(SOTM) Sorry, I didn't see this before. Loved it!
Steve...thanks!
I love this!!!! Can't say enough!
Thank you Oddy! I'm down with O-D-D =)
"ODD" - heh heh. And I still agree with everyone's praise.
LOL Sha la la la la here's three fives
Thank you Jack and Spafferoo!
A lot of good lines, particularly the telephone pole line and good substitutes for the lines from the OS.
never seen this before jeff - hilarious, and ditto all the eye-chart comments - 555
Never made it out first time around. Happy to rectify that, Jeff. Funny and very clever.
(CLASSIC) The wandering eye got me too...lol.
Holy hell, this picked up 36 (now 37) votes post wipe? Of course the eye chart is funny as is the rest of the song.
Nicely done.
Scathe, Adagio, Red Ant...thanks! Red Ant, this came out with this the day of the vote wipe (7-28-04), so the only votes lost, if any would have been on that day, depending on the time of day the crash occurred.
(Classic tourney) S E E A B O V E A G A I N
CLASSIC: I read this before, just didn't comment. But it's an amazingly funny parody, 555's
(Classic) The eye chart sections are truly inspired!
Wow! I was looking at all the Brown Eyed Girl parodies and I got to this one...blows them all away. Love it. I would give it 10's if I could.
Your Cross-Eyed Class is having another thing to look at. These fives.
(ABC4) A former SOTM podium placer making a grand return.
(ABC4) I know it's been said before, but the eye-chart bits were the piece de resistance! 555 for you!
(ABC4) see above - and extra points for the originality Jeff, and the wandering eye gag, and the wind-change explanation bit, and esp. the eye charts!
(ABC4) Having already heard this several times, you know there isnt much I could say that hasn't already been said:)
(ABC) Thanks for improving upon an OS that I positively LOATHE! (Being brown-eyed and having parents that were fans of Van, it was sung to me a lot as a child...) But this was brilliant in and of itself. I'd actually never read this—it deserves all the praise it gets!
ABC4- Very witty and original with the eye chart. This one gave me a good belly laugh. 'Eyes' says excellent job, Jeff.
