Misheard Lyrics:
She was walking in the bottle shop before she queens
Till the manager kicked her out, one of those crushing seas
What was she to do, where was she to go?
She was out on her fanny
So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door
She was there to sell make up at the father combo
She was there, she was there, she was there
That's how she became the Nanny
Ooh, what a guest, they were going described
Exact exactly what the doctor prescribed
Now, the firefighter pronounced, and doubt she see
The kids are actually smarter than she wanna be
She's the nanny in red when everybody else is wearing teal
A flushy droupal flushy, the Nanny is back
Original Lyrics:
She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens
Till her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes
What was she to do, where was she to go?
She was out on her fanny
So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door
She was there to sell make up but the father saw more
She had style, she had flair, she was there
That's how she became the Nanny
Who would have guessed that the girl we described
Was just exactly what the doctor prescribed?
Now, the father finds her beguiling, watch out C.C.
The kids are actually smiling, such joie de vivre
She's the lady in red when everybody else is wearing tan
The flashy girl from Flushing, the Nanny named Fran.
