"Fanny Faudrey" lyrics

"Fanny Faudrey"

Okay, boys. Let's go

One, two, three, four

Fanny Faudrey
Lived down the lane
By an apothecary
The banker's son
Said she was done
So then Fanny had to leave

He sent her
Over the ocean
Over the ocean
Over the sea
Over the sea
Fanny, you feminist
From the 19th century
Over the ocean
Over the ocean
Over the sea
Over the sea
Fanny, you feminist
Just keep teachin' me

Fanny Faudrey
Made a mistake
Not a little one
And needed sanctuary
So, Misty Brooke
Grabbed Fanny's cloak
Said, "Hide under my bakery"

'Cause you sailed
Over the ocean
Over the ocean
Over the sea
Over the sea
Fanny, you feminist
From the 19th century
Over the ocean
Over the ocean
Over the sea
Over the sea
Fanny, you feminist
From the 19th century

Over the ocean
Over the ocean
Over the sea
Over the sea
Fanny, you feminist
Just keep teachin' me
