Annie’s Cousin Fannie Lyrics
Annie’s cousin Fannie, Oh what a gal
I never had such a wonderful pal
She likes me
And I go for Annie’s cousin Fannie
Every night at seven, I call at her door
Annie doesn’t live there any more
But I don’t care
‘Cause I go for Annie’s cousin Fannie
Her lips are like honey
Her kisses like wine
She save’s ‘em all for me
She’s not like her cousin
She’s one in a dozen
Fannie ruined Annie’s popularity
She always stays at home
And she answers the bell
She tells all the others to go to, well
Now you see
Why I go for Annie’s cousin Fannie
TOMMY DORSEY:
Annie changed her address
Took her name off the door
I don’t know why
She didn’t do that before
She gathered up her coat
And took her hat off the shelf
Now I can have my Fannie, all to myself!
BAND:
I like my Fannie
I go for Fannie
Annie’s cousin Fannie is the gal for me
KAY WEBER:
A gentleman with a top hat
Asked Annie for a date
He said I’ll bring a friend for Fannie
Meet us at eight
They drove out in the woods
Where they could be alone
And Annie’s cousin Fannie is still walking home
BAND:
I like my Fannie
I go for Fannie
Annie’s cousin Fannie is the gal for me
DON MATTESON:
Annie and Fannie were friends long ago
And everywhere that Annie went
Fannie would go
But Annie’s boyfriend Harvey said
Give us a break
They tried to shake Fannie
But Fannie wouldn’t shake
BAND:
Oh they wouldn’t shake a Fannie
Couldn't shake a Fannie
Wouldn’t shake a Fannie
She’d go too
Oh they wouldn’t shake a Fannie
Couldn't shake a Fannie
Wouldn’t shake a Fannie
What to do
DON MATTESON:
Well, here’s the thing that Fannie did
That’ll give you a laugh
Fannie built a house
But it didn’t have a bath
So Annie called around one day
And she said to Fannie
That’s a very funny house m’dear
It's so uncanny
BAND:
I like my Fannie
I go for Fannie
Annie’s cousin Fannie is the gal for me
GLENN MILLER:
Annie’s cousin Fannie is a sweetie of mine
She stays at home and waits for me
All the time
You may know some girls named Annie that are divine
But you never saw a Fannie half as pretty as mine
BAND:
Annie’s cousin Fannie is a sweetie of mine
