Frigid Air Fanny Lyrics
Frigid Air Fanny - George Formby
A foreign dame to England came
For months shed been afloat
Travelling first class
That's the worst class on a cattle boat
See her with a gay rag wrapped around her hay bag
Waggling her tambourine
That's Frigid Air Fanny the flame from the Argentine
At the cabaret show
Rotten apples they throw
Shouting Keep the party clean
To Frigid Air Fanny the flame from the Argentine
Now don't tell her she's frozen mutton for if you do
Soon you'll get the frozen mitt
And the cold shoulder too
You can recognise her there's nothing to disguise her
Except a bit of crepe de chine
That's Frigid Air Fanny the flame from the Argentine
Now since a child out in the wild
That's where she used to dwell
In the land where beef gets canned there
She gets canned as well
Sitting on an ice box melting all the ice blocks
She's the hottest thing you've seen
That's Frigid Air Fanny the flame from the Argentine
When she does the Rumba
Policemen take her number
And firemen dash on the scene
To Frigid Air Fanny the flame from the Argentine
Now don't tell her she's frozen mutton
For if you do
You will get the frozen mitt
And the cold shoulder too
Her teeth are not a grand set
She bought a second hand set
And stuck 'Em in with secotine
That's Frigid Air Fanny the flame from the Argentine
Now don't tell her she's frozen mutton
For if you do
Soon you'll get the frozen mitt
And the cold shoulder too
People call her two faced
Tying up her shoelace
You can see the face they mean
On Frigid Air Fanny the flame from the Argentine
