Songtexte Our Fanny's Gone All Yankee - George Formby

Our Fanny ain't the girl she used to be
The Yanks have surely carried her away
Although she comes from Wigan by the sea
You'd think that she was born in U.S.A

Oh, she's very fond of Spam, and she's always shouting, "Scram"
Our Fanny's gone all Yankee
And she talks in her sleep about her boyfriend's jeep
Our Fanny's gone all Yankee

Woodbines she used to smoke, now she thinks that there a joke
With a Camel in her mouth she's very swanky
She drinks whisky, gin and rum and she's always chewing gum, 'cause
Our Fanny's gone all Yankee

She never mentions 'Ee by gum' no more
"O.K big boy sez you" you'll hear her say
Now Fanny say's she's lots of plans in store
Cause a doughboy's promised taking her away
And she's told all her mates that she's going to the States
Our Fanny's gone all Yankee

She say's she'll make good when she gets to Hollywood
Our Fanny's gone all Yankee

When in her Sunday best with Yankee wings pinned on her breast
And the stars and stripes embroidered on her hanky
She's wearing Yankee hose and she's talking through her nose
Our Fanny's gone all Yankee

And she thinks it's grand when they walk out hand in hand
Our Fanny's gone all Yankee
Hot dogs she loves to eat and have a cuddle in the street
Our Fanny's gone all Yankee

She don't wait for the dark when she wants to have a lark
In a bus or a train she does her hanky panky
And when she argues with her mum she shouts
"Ha, ha you've had it chum"
Our Fanny's gone all Yankee
