My previous post of 3 minutes ago asked for the words to the mother song: "M" is for the ..etc This is a request for lyrics to an equally dreadful-sounding song, but a friend heard it at a funeral and wants the words: "You've got your mother's big brown eyes You've got your father's teeth of pearl" ... I know this is painful, but please help!

Oh, ya know, if it means something to someone, it isn't all that dreadful. Different strokes for different folks -- and different at different times, too. Who knows, maybe one of these days you'll hear this very song and feel wistful. Or, mebbee not.

Anyway, I know nothing about this song. Just jabbering to refresh the thread. Have you done a search on the digital tradition to see if you can find anything containing the words "mother's big brown eyes" or "father's teeth of pearl"?
