_Billy, Don’t Be a Hero_ – Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods

… and I believe the previous entry (_My Girl Bill_) should be credited to Jim Stafford. There _was_ a singer named Terry _S̲t̲a̲f̲f̲o̲r̲d̲ (spelled without an ‘N’, and no relation)_, but he’s better known as the Elvis sound-alike who released _Suspicion_.

_Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue (Has Anybody Seen My Girl?)_ – The California Ramblers

[![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e6/Five_foot_two_sheet_music_cover_25pc.png) ](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e6/Five_foot_two_sheet_music_cover_25pc.png)

While it’s true that over the years it has sometimes been recorded as “Has Anybody Seen My Girl?”, sheet music for the song published in 1925 _(see above)_ gives it the full title – and that’s good enough for me.
