[00:00:00] Fancy - Bobbie Gentry (芭比·珍翠)

[00:00:00] Written by：Bobbie Gent

[00:00:05] Well I remember it all very well lookin' back

[00:00:08] It was the summer that I turned eighteen

[00:00:10] We lived in a one room run down shack

[00:00:12] On the outskirts of New Orleans

[00:00:15] We didn't have money for food or rent

[00:00:17] To say the least we was hard pressed

[00:00:20] When Momma spent every last penny we had

[00:00:22] To buy me a dancin' dress

[00:00:24] Well Momma washed and combed and curled my hair

[00:00:27] Then she painted my eyes and lips

[00:00:29] Then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress

[00:00:32] It had a split in the side clean up to my hips

[00:00:35] It was red velvet trimmed and it fit me good

[00:00:39] And standin' back from the lookin' glass

[00:00:40] Was a woman

[00:00:41] Where a half grown kid had stood

[00:00:44] Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:00:48] Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:00:53] God forgive me for what I do

[00:00:55] But if you want out girl it's up to you

[00:00:57] Now get on out you better start sleepin' uptown

[00:01:00] Don't let me down

[00:01:03] Don't let me down

[00:01:04] Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume

[00:01:07] On my neck and she kissed my cheek

[00:01:09] Then I saw the tears welling up

[00:01:11] In her troubled eyes as she started to speak

[00:01:14] She looked at our pitiful shack and then

[00:01:16] She looked at me and took a ragged breath

[00:01:18] Your Pa's runned off and I'm real sick

[00:01:21] And the baby's gonna starve to death

[00:01:23] She handed me a heart shaped locket that said

[00:01:25] To thine own self be true

[00:01:28] And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across

[00:01:30] The toe of my high healed shoe

[00:01:32] It sounded like somebody else was talkin'

[00:01:34] Askin' omma what do I do

[00:01:37] And just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy

[00:01:39] They'll be nice to you

[00:01:42] Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:01:46] Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:01:51] God forgive me for what I do

[00:01:53] But if you want out girl it's up to you

[00:01:55] Now get on out you better start sleepin' uptown

[00:02:02] That was the last time I saw my momma

[00:02:04] When I left that rickety shack

[00:02:07] The welfare people came and took the baby

[00:02:09] Momma died and I ain't been back

[00:02:11] But the wheels of fate had started to turn

[00:02:13] And for me there was no other way out

[00:02:16] It wasn't very long after that I knew exactly

[00:02:18] What my momma was talkin' 'bout

[00:02:20] I knew what I had to do

[00:02:22] But I made myself this solemn vow

[00:02:25] I's gonna to be a lady someday

[00:02:27] Though I didn't know when or how

[00:02:29] I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life

[00:02:32] With my head hung down in shame

[00:02:34] I mighta been born just plain white trash

[00:02:36] But Fancy was my name

[00:02:39] Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:02:44] Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:02:50] Wasn't long after that a benevolent man

[00:02:52] Took me in off the streets

[00:02:55] One week later I was pourin' his tea

[00:02:57] In a five roomed penthouse suite

[00:02:58] Since then I've charmed a king a congressman

[00:03:01] And an occasional aristocrat

[00:03:04] And I got me an elegant Georgia mansion

[00:03:05] And a New York townhouse flat

[00:03:07] Now I ain't done bad

[00:03:09] Now I ain't done bad

[00:03:18] Now in this world there's a lot of self righteous

[00:03:20] Hypocrites who call me bad

[00:03:22] They criticize Momma for turning me out

[00:03:24] No matter how little we had

[00:03:26] But I haven't had to worry 'bout nothin'

[00:03:29] Now for nigh on fifteen years

[00:03:31] But I can still hear the desperation

[00:03:32] In my poor mommas voice ringin' in my ears

[00:03:36] Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:03:40] Oh here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:03:44] God forgive me for what I do

[00:03:47] But if you want out girl it's up to you

[00:03:49] Now get on out you better start sleepin' uptown
