scrough 1st Sep 2018		Quote:"Coburn had recorded this song as early as 1913 on Winner 2289". He had recorded both titles on Pathé cylinders by June 1903 when they appear in a listing. 'Monte Carlo' was recorded on single sided Columbia c.June 1904, and both titles appear on an Odeon double sided c.1905.



xiphophilos 31st Aug 2018		A side: A version from 1934 in a Pathé soundie: Coburn had recorded this song as early as 1913 on Winner 2289: Lyrics and more info.



xiphophilos 31st Aug 2018		B side: Strolling so happy down Bethnal Green This gay youth you might have seen, Tompkins and I, with his girl between, Oh! what a surprise! I praised the Conservatives frank and free, Tompkins got angry so speedily, All in a moment he handed to me Two lovely black eyes! Next time, I argued I thought it best, To give the Conservative side a rest. The merits of Liberals I freely pressed, When Oh! what a surprise! The chap I had met was a Tory true, Nothing the Liberals right could do, This was my share of that argument too, Two lovely black eyes! The moral you've caught I can hardly doubt Never on politics rave and shout, Leave it to others to fight it out, If you would be wise. Better, far better, it is to let, Lib'rals and Tories alone, you bet, Unless you're willing and anxious to get Two lovely black eyes! CHORUS: Two lovely black eyes! Oh! what a surprise! Only for telling a man he was wrong, Two lovely black eyes!



scrough 31st Aug 2018		Coborn recorded these in his late 70s, and had been using them as part of his act for around forty years. He wrote the lyrics for "Two Lovely Black Eyes," which was based on Scanlan's "My Nellie's Blue Eyes."
