    Hey There Fancy Pants

    by: Ween

    Hey, there fancy pants
    Play the songs that make us dance
    Play the tunes that make the ladies swoon
    A song for all the lonely hearts
    Shattered dreams and broken parts
    Feels like sunny days are coming soon
    Hey Mr. Buttercup
    Spin the wheel and try your luck
    The spotlight's shining bright tonight on you
    Bring along your lady friend
    Do a dance from way back when
    Tonight's the night when all your dreams come true
    Hey there sour grapes
    Down in the dumps, long in the face
    Drinkin' down your dinner, all alone
    Feelin' bad, feelin' blue
    Tonight the rainbow ends with you
    So sit on down and make yourself at home, so
    Hey there fancy pants
    Play the songs that make us dance
    Play the tunes that make the ladies swoon
    A song for all the lonely hearts
    Shattered dreams and broken parts
    Feels like sunny days are coming soon
    Fancy pants
    Fancy pants
    Fancy pants
