Fancy Passes

[Verse 1]
Money isn't everything
As anyone who's rich
It can buy pain and misery
Or grief
Though money isn't everything
I have a pauper's itch
So though I crave a brave
Yes
I'll take the chief

[Chorus 1]
He bought me a cat
Siamese, imagine that
He keeps making
Fancy passes at me
All those fine and fancy passes
Oh joy, now I've got
Sixty feet of brand new yacht
He keeps making
Fancy passes at me
All those fine and fancy passes

[Verse 2]
He owns New York or Spain
But I don't know which
He got fat in Uptown Manhattan
Poor Cinderella's got her a fella who's rich
Every penny, he's worth aplenty
He owns United Airlines
That as well?
He owns receding hairlines
Oh, well
He's not so hip
Or smart as a whip
But healthy, wise and wealthy

[Chorus 2]
He bought me a summer place
Somewhere out in outer space
He keeps making
Fancy passes at me

[Bridge]
A man is rare, Ms. McNair
Did he buy you a mink?
Passion pink?
And a Cadi too?
Uh-huh, baby blue
You're speaking of?
My baby love
Your Romeo?
My daddy dough
And I love him a lot
How much has he got?

[Verse 3]
He's got a plot of ground
He found over oil
He bought New Jersey
So he could call me his girl
He always will entrance me
Long as he romances me
And quarters, half's and dollars
Ding, dong, ain't it swell?
They just delivered the Liberty Bell
How sad all those Philadelphians will be
And I'll get half of what he owns
To keep up with Mrs. L. B. Jones
And if he keeps making fancy passes
I'll start holding evening classes
I'll give him sugar and molasses
And the life, I live
I'll live luxuriously

[Chorus 3]
From those late and evening classes
That sugar and molasses
Those fine and fancy passes at me
Oooweee, my honey
