SHE LOOKS LIKE HELEN BROWN Fred Fisher and Billy Rose
Oh, she looks like Helen Brown. She's the best-dressed gal in town. Got the skin you love to touch. Never lets you touch it much. Oh, she won a beauty crown In her new red satin gown. She knocked the boys dead When she wore red But she looked like Helen Brown.
................, and how. There he met a dame Who took his watch and chain. Well, to the sheriff he went right away, Said "You gotta find that gal today." When they asked him how she looked, They all heard him say:
Oh, she looks like Helen Brown. Oh, she looks like Helen Brown: Rosy cheeks and eyes of blue. When she smiles, I'm tellin' you She looks like Helen Brown. She's the hottest gal in town. When she goes by, the boys all cry: She looks like Helen Brown.
She looks like Helen Brown. Yes, she looks like Helen Brown. When she's dressed in green or gray, Scotsmen throw their dough away. She looks like Helen Brown. She's the hottest gal in town. Oh, she looks all right when she's dressed in white, But she looks like Helen Brown.
(Oh, she looks like Helen Brown.) And how! She looks like Helen Brown. When that baby starts to strut, Ev'rybody loves her, but— (She looks like Helen Brown.) Yes sir! She's the hottest gal in town. She knocks 'em dead dressed up in red, But she looks like Helen Brown.
