I was slippin' and slidin' with a long tall Sally 
Peekin' and a hidin', duck back in the alley 
Don't wanna rip it up, don't wanna dance with Annie 
I've got a brand new lover name is Short Fat Fannie 

One day while I was visit'n at HeartBreak Hotel 
Thats where I met Fannie and she sure looked swell 
I told her that I loved her and I'd never leave 
She put her arms around me, gave me fever 

She's my tutti frutti, I love the child so 
She watch me like a hound dog everywhere I go 
Whenever I'm around her I'm on my p's and q's 
She might step on my blue suede shoes 

Well at a honky tonk party just the other night 
Fannie got jealous and she started a fight 
At the club I was dancin with MaryLou 
I had to call Jim Dandy to the rescue 

Short Fat Fannie she's my hearts desire 
Short Fat Fannie sets my soul on fire 
On Monday we were married on Blueberry Hill 
Now we're so happy and I love her still 

She's my tutti frutti, I love the child so 
She watch me like a hound dog everywhere I go 
Whenever I'm around her I'm on my p's and q's 
She might step on my blue suede shoes 

Well at a honky tonk party just the other night 
Fannie got jealous and she started a fight 
At the club I was dancin with MaryLou 
I had to call Jim Dandy to the rescue
