Dangerous Dan McGrew Songtext
von Helen Kane

Hotcha, Chacha, Vo-doe-de-oh,
And Boop-oop Poop-oop-a-doop.
Tootin′, shootin', high-falutin′,
I make you loop the loop.

I'm from the great North West.
I'm dif′rent from the rest.
Stand up, stand up, throw your hands up,
I shoot pants and vest.

Oh, I′ve been a bad girl all my life.
I pick my teeth with a carving knife,
And I make a widow of a wife.
'Cause I′m dangerous Nan McGrew.

Why, I slapped Jack Dempsey in the face
And I make barbed wire look like lace
And I throw myself right out of place
'Cause I′m dangerous Nan McGrew.


And I eat dynamite
And I blow up in spite
I shoot everything in sight
Beware! Boom boom! Take Care! Poo poo!

With one breath, I sink a boat
And if anybody gets my goat
I cut myself a piece of throat
'Cause I′m dangerous Nan McGrew.

Why, bullets, they bounce right off my chest
And I sleep on a hornet's nest
Why, I'm the gal sends show men west
′Cause I′m dangerous Nan McGrew.

Why, lions tremble when I frown
When that great big Zeppelin came to town,
Remember? I'm the one that held it down
Because I′m dangerous Nan McGrew.

I like destroying pelf
I shoot bottles off the shelf
I'm so bad I scare myself.
Take care! Boom boom! Beware! Poo poo!


Why, I pull a train right off the tracks
And for perfume, I use shellac
When mad dogs bite, I bite ′em back
Grrrr! 'Cause I′m dangerous Nan McGrew!
