Fan Tan Fannie
At the grand opening of the new Club Chop Suey, Linda, inspired by Mei-Li’s idea of using fans, kicks things off with a smoky, sexy number.
Ta: [spoken]
Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen: Welcome to the Grand Opening
of the jewel of New Chinatown – Club Chop Suey!
Linda:
Fan Tan Fannie
Was leaving her man,
Fan Tan Fannie
Kept waving her fan,
Said, “Goodbye, Danny,
You two-timing Dan,
Some other man
Loves your little Fannie!
Bye, bye!
In the icebox
You’ll find in a can,
Some leftovers
Of moo goo gai pan.
Fan Tan Fannie
Has found a new guy,
His name is Manny,
He’s good for Fannie,
So goodbye, Danny,
Goodbye.”
All:
“Fan Tan Fannie!
Fan Tan Fannie!”
“Bye bye!”
“Fan Tan Fannie
Has found a new guy,
His name is Manny,
He’s good for Fannie,
So goodbye, Danny,
Goodbye!
Bye bye!
Bye bye!
Hope you like moo goo gai pan!”
