Fancy - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]

Well I remember it all very well lookin' back[00:00:12]

Was the summer I turned eighteen[00:00:15]

Lived in a one room rundown shack[00:00:17]

On the outskirts of New Orleans[00:00:20]

We didn't have money for food or rent[00:00:22]

To say the least we were hard pressed[00:00:24]

Mama spent every last penny we had[00:00:27]

To buy me a dancin' dress[00:00:29]

Mama washed and combed and curled my hair[00:00:32]

And she painted my eyes and lips[00:00:35]

Then I stepped into a satin' dancin' dress[00:00:37]

That had a split on the side[00:00:39]

Clean up to my hip[00:00:41]

It was red velvet trim and it fit me good[00:00:43]

Standin' back from the lookin' glass[00:00:47]

There stood a woman[00:00:49]

Where a half grown kid had stood[00:00:50]

She said here's your one chance[00:00:52]

Fancy don't let me down[00:00:54]

She said here's your one chance[00:00:57]

Fancy don't let me down[00:00:59]

Mama dabbled a little bit of perfume[00:01:05]

On my neck and she kissed my cheek[00:01:07]

And then I saw the tears wellin' up[00:01:10]

In her troubled eyes as she started to speak[00:01:11]

She looked at a pitiful shack[00:01:15]

And she looked at me[00:01:16]

And took a ragged breath[00:01:18]

She said your Pa's runned off[00:01:19]

I'm real sick[00:01:21]

And the baby's gonna starve to death[00:01:22]

She handed me a heart shaped locket that said[00:01:25]

To thine own self be true[00:01:27]

And shivered as I watched a roach crawl across[00:01:30]

The toe of my high heeled shoe[00:01:32]

It sounded like somebody else that was talkin'[00:01:35]

Askin' mama what do I do[00:01:37]

She said just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy[00:01:40]

They'll be nice to you[00:01:42]

She said here's your one chance[00:01:45]

Fancy don't let me down[00:01:46]

Here's your one chance[00:01:50]

Fancy don't let me down[00:01:51]

Lord forgive me for what I do[00:01:54]

But if you want out well it's up to you[00:01:57]

Now don't let me down[00:02:00]

Now your mama's gonna move you uptown[00:02:01]

That was the last time I saw my ma[00:02:08]

Night I left that rickety shack[00:02:10]

The welfare people came and took the baby[00:02:12]

Mama died and I ain't been back[00:02:15]

But the wheels of fate had started to turn[00:02:17]

And for me there was no way out[00:02:20]

Wasn't very long 'til I knew exactly[00:02:23]

What my mama'd been talkin' about[00:02:25]

I knew what I had to do[00:02:28]

And I made myself this solemn vow[00:02:29]

That I's gonna be a lady someday[00:02:33]

Though I didn't know when or how[00:02:35]

But I couldn't see spending the rest of my life[00:02:37]

With my head hung down in shame[00:02:40]

You know I might have been born[00:02:42]

Just plain white trash[00:02:44]

But Fancy was my name[00:02:45]

She said here's your one chance[00:02:47]

Fancy don't let me down[00:02:49]

She said here's your one chance[00:02:52]

Fancy don't let me down[00:02:54]

Wasn't long after that benevolent man[00:03:00]

Took me off the street[00:03:02]

One week later I was pourin' his tea[00:03:05]

In a five room hotel suite[00:03:07]

And she why[00:03:09]

And charmed a king a congressman[00:03:10]

And an occasional aristocrat[00:03:12]

And then I got me a Georgia mansion[00:03:15]

And an elegant New York townhouse flat[00:03:17]

And I ain't done bad she ain't done bad[00:03:19]

Now in this world[00:03:30]

There's a lot of self righteous hypocrites[00:03:31]

Call me bad bad[00:03:33]

Criticize mama for turning me out[00:03:35]

No matter how little we had[00:03:38]

But though I ain't had to worry 'bout[00:03:40]

Nothing for nigh on fifteen years[00:03:42]

Well I can still hear the desperation[00:03:45]

In my poor mama's voice ringin' in my ears[00:03:47]

Here's your one chance[00:03:50]

Fancy don't let me down[00:03:51]

Oh here's your one chance[00:03:55]

Fancy don't let me down[00:03:57]

Lord forgive me for what I do[00:04:00]

But if you want out well it's up to you[00:04:03]

Now don't let me down[00:04:05]

Now your mama's gonna move you uptown[00:04:06]

Oh and I guess she did[00:04:12]
