Sweet Fanny Arnett

Sweet Fanny Arnett

Fanny
Oh, the gods made me wiry, made me firy and hot;
And my belly is strengthened with lead.
Give me rum and some whisky and I'll never get shot,
But sprout gin-soaked whiskers instead.

I'm sharp as a cactus,
In sin I don't need practice,
And I flirt like the Mae Wests do.
Strip right down to my girdle.
Convention ain't no hurdle—
I'm the Hot in the Heat of the West.

I lack social know-hows
The toothpaste, soap and towels,
And I ain't had a shower in years
Whiskey's my lubrication,
I won't need vacination.
I'm the Hot in the Heat of West.

I know all about them.
The rules and how to flout them
Alcohol and the facts of life.
Give me whisky and water
I'll not do what I oughta
I'm the Hot in the Heat of West.
