There's more to this one (I must have found the sheet music once). It includes the long-forgotten verses - now you'll see WHY they were forgotten.

I've added some simplified chords for the chorus, but haven't the foggiest idea about the verses.

Five Foot Two (Eyes Of Blue)
Lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young. Music by Ray Henderson, 1925

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 though that I would cave in,
When I heard that silly, daffydilly ravin':

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:
