HAWK EYE
(Boudleaux Bryant)

Frankie Laine - 1955


(Hawkeye)

They call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye
All the fellows call me Hawkeye 'cause I never miss a trick
I can spot a pretty chick a mile away
One look and I can tell just how her lips are gonna taste
I know within a fraction what she measures in the waist
I know what's goin' on behind that twinkle in her eye
And that is why they call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye

I keep my eyes wide open
And my gas pony buggy to ride
And nearly every evenin'
There's a pretty kitten sittin' by my side

They call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye
It's the hawk that gets the highest flyin' chicken every time
Even though a wolf has chased her up a tree
But I can spot a doll and have her cuddled in my arms
Before the average wolf begins to howl about her charms
I got her kiss before he even has a chance to try
And that is why they call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye

(Hawkeye)

I keep my eyes wide open
And my gas buggy ready to ride
And nearly every evenin'
There's a pretty kitten sittin' by my side

They call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye
It's the hawk that gets the highest flyin' chicken every time
Even though a wolf has chased her up a tree
But I can spot a doll and have her cuddled in my arms
Before the average wolf begins to howl about her charms
I got her kiss before he even has a chance to try
And that is why they call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye
