Up the West End that’s the best end where the night clubs thrive
Down into a dive you go
There’s a jazz queen she’s a has been has been Lord knows what
Every night she’s there on show
She dances underneath a magic spell,
She’s full of charm and gin and scotch as well
She’s sixty six but looks sixteen
Her friends don’t know her now her face is clean
Fanlight fanny the frowsy nightclub queen
See her glide around the floor then glide around into the pub next door
Fanlight fanny the frowsy nightclub queen
She looks swell in lime a queen all the time
You get your moneys worth
By day you’d say “It’s her second time on earth”
She waltzes in the West End shops then waltzes out again between two cops
Fanlight fanny the frowsy nightclub queen
She’s a peach but understand
She’s called a peach because she’s always canned
Fanlight Fanny the frowsy nightclub queen
When she’s dressed she’s like Mae West
She wears two saucepans upon her chest
Fanlight Fanny the frowsy nightclub queen
She looks swell in lime a queen all the time
You get your moneys worth
By day you’d say “It’s her second time on earth.”
Every morning at the break of day
They call for the empties and they cart away
Fanlight Fanny the frowsy nightclub queen
