Fatima Brown
Composer(s): Joe McCarthy; Jimmie V. Monaco



In our town lived a girlie named Fatima Brown
She used to dance night and day, light and gay
Oh she certainly was slick, she had the kick
But one day came a sporty actor 'round our way
Hee promised he would marry her
Then he carried her off, the horrid thing 
Now this same Fatima Brown is the rage of New York town
But

Years ago, when Fatima started with her show
She used to dance very mild, she was wild
When she found she didn't go, she was a crow
Bye and bye funny little movements she would try
She found the men admired her and inspired her so, the rest you know
Now she almost shakes the earth, and you get your money's worth
But

Oh, how she changed, she used to dance the butterfly
Gracefully she'd kick so high
Now she dances the seven veils, but six veils must be shy
O o-o! If the home folks knew, why they'll all come sneakin'
Even bring the deacon down to town
She flitters here, she flitters there, flitters almost everywhere
And you have to hold tight to your chair, when you see Fatima Brown
