Eye Ballin' - Chuck Higgins

Eye Ballin' - Chuck Higgins
2:17
single, 1955
Written by Chuck Higgins

The saxophonist and band leader proudly and defiantly defends his practice of gawking at women.  "Don't be mad at me / Eye ballin' ain't no crime / I gotta eyeball women until I go stone blind."  It's primitive and basic, but you can dance to it.  It's a raucous bar-room rhythm and blues, full of energy and what was then considered, I suppose, harmless humor.
