Escrita por Trevor
Peacock, foi inicialmente gravada por Tom Courteney, em 1963. A
versão que escolhemos e a mais conhecida é a dos
Herman's Hermits, lançada em abril de 1965, num compacto que tinha I
gotta dream on no Lado B.
A
versão dos Herman's Hermits chegou ao número 1 dos charts pop
americanos em maio de 1965. Chegou também ao número 1 no Canadá
ainda em abril de 1965. Os Herman's Hermits só tiveram dois número
1 nos charts pop americanos. Uma foi Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely
daughter e a outra foi I'm Henry VIII, I am. Elas nunca foram
lançadas como compactos na Grã-Bretanha.
Mrs.
Brown you've got a lovely daughter tem uma guitarra particularmente
emudecida e um vocal com um sotaque bem carregado. Eles nunca
sonharam que seria um hit e muito menos número 1 nos Estados Unidos.

letra:
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
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 feeling 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)

Things have changed, she doesn't love me now
She's made it clear enough, it ain't no good to pine
Walkin' about

You'll pick her out
