Lyrics
Listen carefully, dear fellows,
My advice is very clear,
Stay away from Fancy Woman,
When she starts to call you dear.
She will hold you very closely,
You won’t know what’s on her mind,
Better leave or in the morning,
All your money you won’t find.

CHORUS
Fancy Woman, very evil,
Strip you just like a boll weevil,
If you don’t catch her in time,
You’ll be left without a dime.
Fancy Woman very clever,
Never trust her, never, never,
Keep your hands on all your dough,
Or you will see your money go.

She will say her name is Helen,
When her name is really Jean,
Once you’ve tasted her tequila,
You will say, “Goodnight, Irene.”
Softly, softly and so tender,
Through your hair her fingers run,
From your pocket money’s slipping,
While you think you’re having fun.
(Chorus)

From Broadway to Tijuana,
Woman smile so very nice,
Once your bank account is finished,
Her warm smile will turn to ice.
Quickly, quickly, very quickly,
She will soon forget your name,
That’s precisely why I tell you,
Stay away from fancy dame.
(Chorus)

For the last time I will warn you,
Men of eighty, boys of ten,
Try to keep away from trouble,
Stay at home, control that yen.

Don’t go looking for Chiquita,
For her smile is just a cloak,
You will find that with Chiquita,
You will end up very broke.
(Chorus)
