🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • My brown-eyed girl
  • You, my brown-eyed girl
  • Whatever happened
  • To Tuesday and so slow?

Sing it again — final chorus

  • My brown-eyed girl
  • You, 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
