Lyrics: Who is Fannee Doolee?

F, A, double N, double E,
D, double O, L, double E
F, A, double N, double E,
D, double O, L, double E

Once, to be funny, Fannee Doolee replied
There’s something about me that I cannot hide
I hate to read, but I love a good book
I hate to bake, but it’s fun to cook
I hate colors, but I do love green
I hate centers, but love things in between

Golly gee, Fannee Doolee
When are you gonna tell us who ya be, be, be?
Won’t you give us a clue
Tell us whadda we do, what do we do
To find out who you be

F, A, double N, double E,
D, double O, L, double E
F, A, double N, double E,
D, double O, L, double E

I hate to learn, but I think schools are groovy
Cartoons are a ball, but I can’t stand a movie
I’m a friend to both rabbits and bunnies
In newspapers all I read are the funnies
Hot weather’s a drag, but I really dig summer
Don’t like to sing, but, oh boy, I’m a hummer

Golly gee, Fannee Doolee
When are you gonna tell us who ya be, be, be?
Won’t you give us a clue
Tell us whadda we do, what do we do
To find out who you be

F, A, double N, double E,
D, double O, L, double E
F, A, double N, double E,
D, double O, L, double E
F, A, double N, double E,
D, double O, L, double E
F, A, double N, double E,
D, double O, L, double E
F, A, double N, double E,
D, double O, L, double E

Good reason there is for this rhymable rhyme
And if you don’t know what I mean by this time
Listen not to the words that are in the telling
Hurry and take a quick look at the spelling

F, A, double N, double E,
D, double O, L, double E
F, A, double N, double E,
D, double O, L, double E
F, A, double N, double E,
D, double O, L, double E

Golly gee, Fannee Doolee
Now you’ve gone and told us who ya be, be, be
Well, the answer is clear
It could not be better
All that you love has to add…

…Double letters!
