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
You can betcha' life it isn't her
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl?

And here's an even more complete version from a songbook called "Ultimate
Standards":
Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue (Has Anybody Seen My Girl?)
- words by Sam Lewis and Joe Young, music by Ray Henderson
- written in 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 thought that I would cave in
When I heard that silly, daffy-dilly ravin':
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
Never had no other beaus *
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a five foot two
Covered with fur
Diamond rings and all those things
You can betcha' life it isn't her
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl?
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:
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
Never had no other beaus *
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a five foot two
Covered with fur
Diamond rings and all those things
You can betcha' life it isn't her
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl?
* alternative lyric: Flapper, yes sir, one of those
