Up the West End that's the best end
Where the nightclubs thrive
Down in to a dive you go
There's a jazzQueen
She's a hasbeen
Has been Lord knows what
Every night she's there on show
She dances underneath a magic spell
She's full of charm
and gin and scotch as well

She's sixtysix but looks sixteen
her friends don't know her
now her face is clean
Fanlight Fanny
the frowsy nightclub queen.
See her glide
around the floor,
then glide around
into the pub next door
Fanlight Fanny
the frowsy nightclub queen.
She looks swell in the lime
a queen all the time
you get your money's worth,
by day you'd say
"It's her second time on earth."
She waltzes in the West End shops
then waltzes out again
between two cops,
Fanlight Fanny
the frowsy nightclub queen.

Up the West End that's the best end
Where the nightclubs thrive
Down in to a dive you go
There's a jazzQueen
She's a hasbeen
Has been Lord knows what
Every night she's there on show
She dances underneath a magic spell
She's full of charm
and gin and scotch as well

She's a peach but understand
She's called a peach
because she's always canned
Fanlight Fanny
the frowsy nightclub queen.
When she's dressed
she's like Mae West
She wears two saucepan lids
upon her chest
Fanlight Fanny
the frowsy nightclub queen.
She looks swell in the lime
a queen all the time
you get your money's worth,
by day you'd say
"It's her second time on earth."
Every morning at the break of day
They call for the empties
and they carry away
Fanlight Fanny,
the frowsy nightclub queen.
