Frances with the Blue Mascara Eyes

there is scarlet and red
on edges of clouds all gently streaking overhead
and there's Frances with the blue mascara eyes

there is emerald green
that dances across the casing of a jellybean
and there's Frances with the blue mascara eyes

colours of the rainbow, even if they dare
try to match are destined to despair
how could they hope to match those eyes ?

there is ebony black
behind all the signs in heaven of the zodiac
and there's Frances with the blue mascara eyes

there is umber and brown
on tree-bark, so beautiful it makes the tears roll down
and there's Frances with the blue mascara eyes

rubies, pearls and sapphires, precious solitaire
alongside have nothing to compare
how could they hope to stand a chance ?

there is orange of sun
on fields of waving corn just as the day's begun
and there's Frances with the blue mascara eyes

there is purple and mauve
by jimminy, by my troth, and yes indeed, by jove
and there's Frances with the blue mascara

Frances with the blue mascara
Frances with the blue mascara eyes
