Fancy Dress Ball
It was a fancy dress ball
there were Jane, Irene, and Paul
and many of their kind
hope that you don't mind.
Popeye the Sailor took fancy
to a tall girl named Nancy
and a man dressed up as Donald Duck
was alas down on his luck.
Fancy dress ball fancy dress ball
i wonder if they're here at all
fancy dress ball fancy dress ball
- here at all.
All were out on the wooden floor
except for a modest party of four
Jane, Carol, Ian, and Bruce
chatting and drinking their lemon juice.
a brilliant couple was Darby and Joan,
he was a number and she was a phone,
a Norseman danced like Fred Astaire
but not till Amy said so he was aware.
Fancy dress ball fancy dress ball......
A beautiful girl representing Cinderella
went out to dance with a handsome feller
and Peter Pan shook a leg with a knife
when it spoke it was his wife.
A cricket jumped out of his chair
when he caught sight of a chubby bear,
and some downy and colourful pillow
lost her heart to a weeping willow.
Fancy dress ball fancy dress ball.......
The band played out of tune
when it did "How High the Moon"
and a pirate took pity on a miss Warner
who stood all alone in the corner.
Little Red riding Hood sat at a table
talking to a listening Clark Gable
and next to them a squaw and a pony
she was charmed though he was a phoney.
Fancy dress ball, fancy dress ball
I wonder if they're here at all,
fancy dress ball fancy dress ball
- here at all.
