Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tired of slippin' and slidin' with a long, tall Sally
Peekin' and a hidin', duckin' back in the alley
Don't wanna rip it up, don't wanna dance with Annie
I've got a brand new lover, name is Short Fat Fannie
One day, while I was visitin' at Heartbreak Hotel
That's where I met Fannie, and she sure looked swell
I told her that I loved her I'd never leave
She put her arms around me gave me fever
[Chorus]
She's my tutti fruity, I love the child so
She watch me like a hound dog, everywhere I go
Whenever I'm around her, I'm on my Ps and Qs
'Cause she might step on my blue suede shoes
Well, at a honky tonk party just the other night
Fannie got jealous, and she started a fight
Because I was dancin' with MaryLou
I had to call Jim Dandy to the rescue
[Chorus]
Short Fat Fannie, she's my heart's desire
Short Fat Fannie sets my soul on fire
On Monday, we were married on Blueberry Hill
Now we're so happy, and I love her still
[Chorus]
She's my big fat tutti fruity and I love the child so
She watch me like a hound dog, everywhere I go
Whenever I'm around her, I'm on my Ps and Qs
'Cause she might step on my blue suede shoes
Well, at a honky tonk party just the other night
Fannie got jealous, and she started a fight
Because I was dancin' with MaryLou
I had to call Jim Dandy to the rescue
[PostChorus]
Short Fat Fannie is my heart's desire
Got the kind of lovin', sets my soul on fire
Short Fat Fannie, well, I love her so
I'll never let Short Fat Fannie go
