Lyrics Nellie McKay

Nellie McKay

Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter

Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter

Girls as sharp as her are something rare

But it's sad

She doesn't love me now

She's made it clear enough

It ain't no good to pine

She wants to return the things I bought her

Tell her she can keep them just the same

Things have changed

She doesn't love me now

She's made it clear enough

It ain't no good to pine

Walking about

Even in a crowd, well

You'd pick her out

Makes a bloke feel

So proud

If she asks if I've been 'round to see you

Tell her that I'm well, and feeling fine

Don't let on

Don't say she's broke my heart

I'd get down on my knees

But it's no good to pine

Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter

Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter

Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter
