Lyrics and translation George Formby - Frigid Air Fanny
A
foreign
dame
Une
dame
étrangère
To
England
came
Est
venue
en
Angleterre
For
months
she'd
been
afloat
Elle
a
été
en
mer
pendant
des
mois
Travellin'
first
class
Voyager
en
première
classe
That's
the
worst
class
C'est
la
pire
classe
On
a
cattle
boat!
Sur
un
bateau
à
bestiaux !
See
her
with
a
gay
rag
La
voilà
avec
un
chiffon
gai
Wrapped
around
a
hay
bag
Enroulé
autour
d'un
sac
de
foin
Wagglin'
a
tambourine
Agitant
un
tambourin
That's
Frigid
Air
Fanny,
the
flame
from
the
Argentine,
yeah
man!
C'est
Fanny
l'air
glacial,
la
flamme
d'Argentine,
oui
mon
pote !
At
the
cabaret
show
Au
cabaret
Rotten
apples
they
throw
Ils
lui
lancent
des
pommes
pourries
Shoutin',
"Keep
the
party
clean!"
En
criant :
« Garde
la
fête
propre ! »
To
Frigid
Air
Fanny,
the
flame
from
the
Argentine!
À
Fanny
l'air
glacial,
la
flamme
d'Argentine !
Now
don't
tell
her
she's
frozen
mutton
Maintenant,
ne
lui
dis
pas
qu'elle
est
de
la
viande
congelée
For
if
you
do
Car
si
tu
le
fais
Soon
you'll
get
the
frozen
mitt
Bientôt
tu
auras
la
main
gelée
And
the
cold
shoulder
too!
Et
l'épaule
froide
aussi !
You
can
recognise
her
Tu
peux
la
reconnaître
There's
nothin'
to
disguise
her
Il
n'y
a
rien
pour
la
déguiser
Except
a
bit
of
crepe
de
chine
Sauf
un
peu
de
crêpe
de
Chine
That's
Frigid
Air
Fanny,
the
flame
from
the
Argentine!
C'est
Fanny
l'air
glacial,
la
flamme
d'Argentine !
Now
since
a
child
Depuis
qu'elle
est
enfant
Out
in
the
wild
Dans
la
nature
That's
where
she
used
to
dwell
C'est
là
qu'elle
vivait
In
the
land
Dans
le
pays
Where
beef
gets
canned
Où
le
bœuf
est
mis
en
conserve
There
she
gets
canned
as
well!
Elle
est
aussi
mise
en
conserve !
Sitting
on
an
ice
box
Assise
sur
une
glacière
Melting
all
the
ice
blocks
Faisant
fondre
tous
les
blocs
de
glace
She's
the
hottest
thing
you've
seen
C'est
la
chose
la
plus
chaude
que
tu
aies
jamais
vue
That's
Frigid
Air
Fanny,
the
flame
from
the
Argentine!
C'est
Fanny
l'air
glacial,
la
flamme
d'Argentine !
When
she
does
the
rumba
Quand
elle
fait
la
rumba
Policeman

her
number
Les
policiers
prennent
son
numéro
And
firemen
dash
on
the
scene
Et
les
pompiers
se
précipitent
sur
les
lieux
To
Frigid
Air
Fanny,
the
flame
from
the
Argentine!
Pour
Fanny
l'air
glacial,
la
flamme
d'Argentine !

Her
teeth
are
not
a
grand
set
Ses
dents
ne
sont
pas
un
bel
ensemble
She
bough
a
secondhand
set
Elle
a
acheté
un
ensemble
d'occasion
And
stuck
'em
in
with
Secotine
Et
les
a
collées
avec
de
la
Secotine
