The Supremes - Fancy Passes lyrics

rate me

(R. Miller/W. O'Malley/A. Vandenberg)

Money isn't everything

As anyone who's rich

It can buy pain and misery

Or grief

Though money isn't everything

I have a pauper's itch

So though I crave a brave

Yes

I'll take the chief!

He bought me a cat

Siamese, imagine that

He keeps making

Fancy passes at me

All those fine and fancy passes

Oh joy, now I've got

Sixty feet of brand new yacht

He keeps making

Fancy passes at me

All those fine and fancy passes

He owns New York or Spain

But I don't know which

He got fat in Uptown Manhattan

Poor Cinderella's got her a fella who's rich

Every penny, he's worth a plenty

He owns United Airlines

That as well?

He owns receding hairlines

Oh, well!

He's not so hip

Or smart as a whip

But healthy, wise and wealthy

He bought me a summer place

Somewhere out in outer space

He keeps making

Fancy passes at me

What a man you've got, Diane

Did he buy you a mink?

Mmmm..Passion pink

And a Cadi too?

Mmmm, Baby blue

You're speaking of?

My baby love!

Your Romeo?

My Daddy Dough!

I love him a lot

How much has he got?

He's got a plot of ground

He found over oil

Oh, my how chic we are

He bought New Jersey

So he could call me his girl

Oh, man, a feat we are!

Chocolate excites my tummy

Ooh

He bought me a firm called Yummy

So

He's one of those gents

With good bizness cents

And quarters, half's and dollars

Ding, dong, ain't it swell

They just delivered the liberty bell

How sad all those Philadelphians will be

I'll get half of what he owns

To keep up with Mrs. L. B. Jones

And if he keeps making fancy passes

I'll start holding evening classes

I'll give him sugar and molasses

And the life, I live

I'll live luxuriously

From those late and evening classes

That sugar and molasses

Those fine and fancy passes at me

Oooweee

My honey

Yeah!
