Sweet Nancy, you’re my fancy!
Do not heed the neighbor’s talk
Sweet Nancy, only fancy
Some day we may own New York!
Sweet Nancy, none can fancy
How I love you night and day!
Sweet Nancy, my own fancy
Don’t mind what the neighbors say!

Ev’ry Sunday, me and Nancy
Go uptown to Central Park;
We pretend the Park’s the country
Coming home when it is dark
Then I leave her on her doorstep
My hand holding her hand tight
If the neighbors should be looking
Then I softly say “good night!”

Sweet Nancy, you’re my fancy!
Do not heed the neighbor’s talk
Sweet Nancy, only fancy
Some day we may own New York!
Sweet Nancy, none can fancy
How I love you night and day!
Sweet Nancy, my own fancy
Don’t mind what the neighbors say!
When we’rе married, me and Nancy
Far uptown we’ll go for good;
Say goodbyе to alley neighbors;
That is fully understood
Ev’ry day will then be Sunday
Circled by a plain gold ring
And, when we are old and feeble
Then this dear old song I’ll sing:

Sweet Nancy, you’re my fancy!
Do not heed the neighbor’s talk
Sweet Nancy, only fancy
Some day we may own New York!
Sweet Nancy, none can fancy
How I love you night and day!
Sweet Nancy, my own fancy
Don’t mind what the neighbors say!
