Has Anybody Seen My Girl? (Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue)" is an American popular song that achieved its greatest popularity in the 1920s. It is sometimes known simply as "Has Anybody Seen My Girl?" and sometimes simply as "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue"; the 1925 Leo Feist, Inc. sheet music gives both of these.
Accounts of who originally composed "Has Anybody Seen My Girl?" vary, particularly since the song, especially its lyrics, was often modified. Some sources state that Percy Weinrich wrote the music and Jack Mahoney the lyrics, in 1914.[1] Credit for the most popular version of the song, though, is given to Ray Henderson for the music, and Sam M. Lewis and Joseph Widow Young for the lyrics. It was this version that was recorded by The California Ramblers in 1925, with the greatest bass saxophone player of all times: Adrian Rollini.
The song was first recorded by The California Ramblers in 1925, and has been covered by many other artists since, including Shane Fenton and The Fentones, Arthur Fields, Tiny Hill, Guy Lombardo, Mitch Miller, Dean Martin, Freddy Cannon, Mickey Gilley, Milla Jovovich, and Tim Waurick. Nick Lucas sang the song in a recording that was used in the 1974 movie The Great Gatsby.
The song was used as the theme song for The Ina Ray Hutton Show during the 1950s. Lucille Ball performs this song in an episode of I Love Lucy, and also in the episode of The Lucy Show entitled "Lucy's College Reunion", in both performances playing the ukulele. Most recently used in "CSI: Cyber" Season one, episode eight, "Selfie 2.0", the song was referenced when the agents were profiling victims.
The Jack Mahoney lyrics (1914) are the same as the chorus used in the Sam M. Lewis & Joseph Widow Young version (1925). Minor variations exist in recorded versions: for example "pearls" and "hers" instead of "fur" and "her".
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?
This is the chorus. There are two verses as well,.

The charlie parker quote got me. I'm a huge fan, Bert, it's a joy to see and hear you play. Because of you guys I started my dixieland band here in Brazil. Thanks for all the amazing sounds!

Nice bass sax solo!!!!

[@MrRickkramer]

Dit heb ik liever dan al die politieke ellende. Lekker deuntje, mijn voet beweegt ervan en mijn hoofd wil ook niet stil zitten. Doe af en toe zo eentje er tussendoor voor de sfeer 👍🏻❤️

[@ABrandsma]

Dat is juist het probleem, door al die vreselijke politieke besluiten mag ik dit werk al twee jaar niet uitvoeren. Snap je dat ik boos ben?

[@MrRickkramer]

@@ABrandsma ja Bert ik snap het helemaal. Zelf moet ik al twee jaar thuis werken en wordt er ellendig van. Ik ben wel meer gitaar gaan spelen. Maar zou ook graag weer eens normaal naar een optreden gaan. Op betere tijden Bert, ik ben overigens wel blij met je filmpjes over politiek maar deze oude kwam in mijn feed op RUclips. Contrast kan bijna niet groter zijn. Hou je taai!

[@eatablelove]

Wow Bert, how you ride that monster, don't you make any records with your band?

[@TomTom9290]

Hey Bert, Lucy also performed the song in this "I Love Lucy" episode with Little Ricky on the drums. ruclips.net/video/DGoVNl851LQ/видео.html
