Mrs jones youve got a lovely daughter lyrics

Here are the lyrics for “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter” by Herman’s Hermits:

“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 those 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

Walkin’ about
Even in a crowd, well
You’ll pick her out
Makes a bloke feel so proud

If she finds that I’ve been ’round to see you (’round to see you)
Tell her that I’m well and feelin’ fine (feelin’ fine, ooh)
Don’t let on, don’t say she’s broke my heart
I’d go down on my knees but it’s no good to pine

Mrs. Brown, you’ve got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter)
Mrs. Brown, you’ve got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter)
Mrs. Brown, you’ve got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter)
Mrs. Brown, you’ve got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter

"Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" is a popular song written by British actor, screenwriter and songwriter Trevor Peacock.[1] It was originally sung by actor Tom Courtenay in The Lads, a British TV play of 1963, and released as a single on UK Decca.[2]

The best-known version of the song is by Herman's Hermits, who took it to number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 in May 1965, and number one in Canada the month before. The single debuted on the Hot 100 at number twelve—the third highest debut of the decade (after the Beatles' "Hey Jude" and "Get Back").[3] The Hermits never released the track—or their other US 1965 number one, "I'm Henry VIII, I Am"—as a single in their native Britain. As "Mrs. Brown" was released only a few weeks after the band's previous single, "Silhouettes", both songs ended up occupying the top 10 simultaneously, with "Silhouettes" peaking at number five.

"Mrs Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" was recorded as an afterthought in two takes and featured unique muted lead and rhythm guitar by Derek Leckenby and Keith Hopwood and heavily accented lead vocals by Peter Noone, with backing vocals from Karl Green and Keith Hopwood. The band never dreamed it would be a single let alone hit number one in the US. According to Noone the song was well known to British bands; it would often be performed at birthday parties, substituting the surname of the girl whose party was being celebrated, i.e., "Mrs. Smith" or "Mrs. Jones" instead of "Mrs. Brown".

Alvin and the Chipmunks covered the song for their 1965 album Chipmunks à Go-Go.

An answer to the song, titled, "Mrs. Jones, Your Son Gives Up Too Easy," was released on the Recording Industries (RIC) label as a single in 1965, performed by a group named Lynn and the Mersey Maids.

The song was released in Japan on Odeon Records, a subsidiary of Toshiba, as OR-1272. It was backed by the song "Wonderful World".

It was recorded by Nellie McKay for her 2015 album My Weekly Reader.
