    I remember it all very well lookin' back
    It was the summer I turned eighteen.
    We lived in a one-room, run down shack
    On the outskirts of New Orleans.

    We didn't have money for food or rent
    To say the least we was hard-pressed
    When Momma spent every last penny we had
    To buy me a dancin' dress.

    Momma washed and combed and curled my hair,
    Then she painted my eyes and lips.
    an' then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress.
    It was split on the side clean up to my hips.

    It was red, velvet-trimmed, and it fit me good
    And I standin' back from the lookin' glass was a woman
    Where a half grown kid had stood.

    "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
    Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down."
    Lord forgive me for what I do,
    But if you want out
    Well it's up to you.
    Now don't let me down,
    Your mama's gonna help you move uptown."

    Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume
    On my neck and she kissed my cheek
    Then I saw the tears well up
    In her troubled eyes as she started to speak

    She looked at our pitiful shack and then
    She looked at me and took a ragged breath
    Your Pa's runned off, and I'm real sick
    And the baby's gonna starve to death.

    She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said
    "To thine own self be true"
    And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
    The toe of my high-healed shoe

    It sounded like somebody else it was talkin'
    Askin', "Momma what do I do?"
    "Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy.
    And they'll be nice to you."

    "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
    Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down."
    Lord forgive me for what I do,
    But if you want out
    Well it's up to you.
    Now get on out, you better start moving uptown."

    That was the last time I saw my momma
    When I left that rickety shack
    The welfare people came and took the baby.
    Momma died and I ain't been back.

    But the wheels of fate had started to turn
    And for me there was no other way out.
    It wasn't very long till I knew exactly
    What my momma was talkin' 'bout.

    I did what I had to do.
    Then I made myself this solemn vow:
    that I has gonna be a lady someday
    Though I didn't know when or how.

    But I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life
    With my head hung down in shame.
    I mighta been born just plain white trash.
    But Fancy was my name.

    "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
    Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.

    It wasn't long after that a benevolent man
    Took me in off the streets
    One week later I was pourin' his tea
    In a five roomed penthouse suite.

    I've charmed a king, a congressman
    And an occasional aristocrat
    And I got me an elegant Georgia mansion
    And a New York townhouse flat.

    Now I ain't done bad

    Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous
    Hypocrites who call me bad.
    They criticize my Momma for turning me out
    No matter how little we had.

    Though haven't had to worry 'bout nothin'
    Now for nigh on fifteen years
    But I can still hear the desperation
    In my poor mommas voice ringin' in my ears.

    "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
    Oh, here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
    Lord forgive me for what I do,
    But if you want out well it's up to you.
    Now your mama's gonna help you move uptown."
    And I guess she did
