entire band:
annie’s cousin fannie, oh what a gal
i never had such a wonderful pal
she likes me
and i go for annie’s cousin fannie

every night at seven, i call at her door
annie doesn’t live there any more
but i don’t care
‘cause i go for annie’s cousin fannie

her lips are like honey
her kisses like wine
she save’s ‘em all for me
she’s not like her cousin
she’s one in a dozen
fannie ruined annie’s popularity
she always stays at home
and she answers the bell
she tells all the others to go to, well
now you see
why i go for annie’s cousin fannie

tommy dorsey:
annie changed her address
took her name off the door
i don’t know why
she didn’t do that before
she gathered up her coat
and took her hat off the shelf
now i can have my fannie, all to myself!

band:
i like my fannie
i go for fannie
annie’s cousin fannie is the gal for me

kay weber:
a gentleman with a top hat
asked annie for a date
he said i’ll bring a friend for fannie
meet us at eight
they drove out in the woods
where they could be alone
and annie’s cousin fannie is still walking home
band:
i like my fannie
i go for fannie
annie’s cousin fannie is the gal for me

don matteson:
annie and fannie were friends long ago
and everywhere that annie went
fannie would go
but annie’s boyfriend harvey said
give us a break
they tried to shake fannie
but fannie wouldn’t shake

band:
oh they wouldn’t shake a fannie
couldn’t shake a fannie
wouldn’t shake a fannie
she’d go too
oh they wouldn’t shake a fannie
couldn’t shake a fannie
wouldn’t shake a fannie
what to do

don matteson:
well, here’s the thing that fannie did
that’ll give you a laugh
fannie built a house
but it didn’t have a bath
so annie called around one day
and she said to fannie
that’s a very funny house m’dear
it’s so uncanny
band:
i like my fannie
i go for fannie
annie’s cousin fannie is the gal for me

glenn miller:
annie’s cousin fannie is a sweetie of mine
she stays at home and waits for me
all the time
you may know some girls named annie that are divine
but you never saw a fannie half as pretty as mine

band:
annie’s cousin fannie is a sweetie of mine
