Fancy - The Voice Performance
Kelsie
Well, I remember it all very clear lookin' back
It was the summer I turned 18
We lived in a one room, rundown shack
On the outskirts of New Orleans
Brenna
We didn't have money for food or rent
To say the least we were hard pressed
Then Mama spent every last penny we had
To buy me a dancin' dress
Kelsie
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 heel shoe
Brenna
It sounded like somebody else was talkin'
Askin' Mama "what do I do?"
She said be nice to the gentlemen Fancy
They'll be nice to you
Kelsie
She said here's your chance Fancy don't let me down
Brenna
Oh here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
Kelsie
Lord forgive me for what I do
Brenna
But if you want out
Well it's up to you
Kelsie
So don't
Both
Let me down
Hon, your Mama's gonna move you uptown
Brenna
It wasn't very long after a benevolent man Took me off the street One week later I was pourin' his tea In a five room hotel suite Kelsie
I charmed a king, a congressman And an occasional aristocrat And then I got me a Georgia mansion And an elegant New York townhouse flat And I ain't done bad
Brenna
I ain't done bad
Kelsie
Ohhhh
Brenna
Ohhhh
Here's your chance Fancy don't let me down Kelsie
Oh here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Brenna
Lord forgive me for what I do
Kelsie: but if you want out Well it's up to you Both: So don't let me down, hon
Your mama's gonna move you uptown Don't let me down, hon your mama's gonna move you uptown
Don't let me down, hon your mama's gonna move you up... town
