Lyrics

[A SINGER] Fan Tan Fanny was leaving her man Fan Tan Fanny kept waving her fan Said, "Goodbye, Danny, you two-timing Dan Some other man loves your little Fanny Bye, bye! "In the icebox you'll find in a can Some leftovers of moo goo gai pan Fan Tan Fanny has found a new guy His name is Manny, he's good for Fanny So goodbye, Danny, goodbye" [FRANKIE] I am a vagabond sailor All my friends call me "Sport" I am a fellow for action Any storm in a port [FRANKIE, spoken] Storm in a port Back to the laundry [FRANKIE] Now that I'm home and I'm resting Home from over the sea All the girls who adored me Go gliding through my memory A sweet colleen from Ireland Her hair was fiery red Her eyes gavе out a green light That said I could go ahead [FRANKIE, spoken] Say something in Irish [WOMAN 1, spoken] Elin go Blah [FRANKIE, spoken] Good [FRANKIE] I met a girl in Swеden Of whom I grew quite fond A stately Scandinavian type A buxom, blue-eyed blonde And then in merry England A girl who worshipped me Gliding through my memory That's how I see them Gliding through my memory! In sunny Barcelona A dancing chick I picked Her castanets were clicking Like nothing ever clicked [WOMAN 1] Olé [FRANKIE, spoken] You can say that again [FRANKIE] A very friendly ma'amselle In oo-la-la Paree She was a girl who couldn't say Anything but [WOMAN 3, spoken] Oui! [FRANKIE] 'Twas fun to cast an anchor In lovely Casablancer I loved a Grecian doll and Another doll in Holland But of all the girls in every hemisphere There's no one like the girl I have right here Right here on [LINDA & WOMEN] Grant Avenue, San Francisco California, U.S.A.  Looks down from Chinatown Over a foggy bay You travel there in a trolley In a trolley up you climb Dong dong, you're in Hong Kong Having yourself a time You can eat, if you are in the mood Shark-fin soup, bean-cake fish The girl who serves you all your food Is another tasty dish You know you Can't have a new way of living 'Til you're living all the way On Grant Avenue [LINDA & ENSEMBLE, spoken] Where is that? [LINDA & ENSEMBLE] San Francisco [LINDA & ENSEMBLE, spoken] That's where's that! [LINDA & ENSEMBLE] California, U.S.A.
