Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You're my brown eyed girl.
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You're my brown eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da
So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You're my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (lying in the green grass)
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit)
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da ( sha la la la la la...)
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You're my brown eyed girl.
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You're my brown eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da
So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You're my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (lying in the green grass)
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit)
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da ( sha la la la la la...)
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

last verse they are teenagers having a full on relationship
this song gets very annoying after a while but its ok every now and than
i really miss my brown eyed girl.
This is one of my all time favorites! In fact, my son is named after the Gaelic origin of a word used in this song.
Indeed, Van's the Man!
"Bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit, shalala lah ti da." He's not just doing that jazz thing where they make sounds that are cool, like most people think.
Get it? Bit by bit? Kinda have to take it... slowly. Painful if you don't. Anyway, the people who don't want to admit the song's really a big joke disguised as a love song, kinda like Lola by The Kinks (a song about a transvestite), or Everlong by Foo Fighters (a song about a blow job) or Longview by Green Day (a song about masturbating), are probably pretty pretentious in real life and live in the Bible Belt or something.

No, I have never done heroin. Yes, I have read the wiki page and listened to my share of 70's music.
