Fancy Nancy

Fancy Nancy O'Clancy, From the fanciest part of town, Came to the Saturday Dance Wearing the fanciest gown. The ladies all noticed how Nancy, From the moment she took off her shawl, Held all the boys in a trance, As the fanciest girl at the ball. I knew right away that miss Nancy Would dance with each guy for a while, But for me there wasn't a chance; I knew that I wasn't her style. The fellas all gathered 'round Nancy, But through them, I managed to see; Her eyes met mine in a glance, And Nancy smiled at me. My heart stood still for a moment, My temperature rose a degree, I thought there might be a chance That Nancy would dance with me. I walked 'cross the room toward Nancy, Determined I wouldn't be meek; I started to ask her to dance, But I was too nervous to speak. For a while we just stared at each other; When the tension appeared at it's worst, A voice from the crowd broke the trance, Saying, "Look who she's dancing with first!" Though trembling, I escorted Nancy To the dance floor while everyone stared; The music began and we danced, And that's when I knew that she cared. Fancy Nancy O'Clancy Waltzed with me all through the night, And since that Saturday dance, She hasn't been out of my sight. Now me and Nancy O'Clancy Are married and glad as can be, All because Fancy Nancy Took a fancy to me.
