SHORT FAT FANNIE
Williams Larry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tired slippin' and slidin' with a long tall Sally
Peekin' and a hidin', duckin' back in the alley
Don't wanna rip it up, don't wanna dance with Annie
I've got a brand new lover name is Short Fat Fannie

One day while I was visiting at Heart Break Hotel
That's where I met Fannie and she sure looked swell
I told her that I loved her and I'd never leave

She put her arms around me, gave me fever

She's my tutti fruiti, I love the child so
She watch me like a hound dog everywhere I go
Whenever I'm around her I'm on my p's and q's
She might step on my blue suede shoes

Well at a honky tonk party just the other night
Fannie got jealous and she started a fight
Because I was dancing with Mary Lou
I had to call Jim Dandy to the rescue

Short Fat Fannie she's my hearts desire
Short Fat Fannie sets my soul on fire
On Monday we were married on Blueberry Hill
Now we're so happy and I love her still

She's my favorite tutti fruiti, and I love the child so
She watch me like a hound dog everywhere I go
Whenever I'm around her I'm on my p's and q's
'Cause she might step on my blue suede shoes

Well at a honky tonk party just the other night
Fannie got jealous and she started a fight
Because I was dancing with Mary Lou
I had to call Jim Dandy to the rescue

Short Fat Fannie is my hearts desire
Got the kind of loving sets my soul on fire

Short Fat Fannie, well I love her so
I'll never let Short Fat Fannie go

Overall Meaning

"Short Fat Fannie" is a classic rock and roll song written by Larry Williams and released in 1957. The song tells the story of the singer's love for a woman named Short Fat Fannie, who is the object of his affection despite her unconventional appearance. The song is upbeat and catchy, with a strong rhythm and blues influence that is characteristic of Williams' style.

The lyrics of the song depict the singer's love for Short Fat Fannie, who he met at the Heart Break Hotel. Despite her size and shape, he is enamored by her and declares that he would never leave her. The lyrics also describe Fannie as being possessive and jealous of the singer's interactions with other women, which leads to a confrontation at a honky tonk party. In the end, the singer and Fannie get married and he pledges his undying love for her.

One possible interpretation of the song is that it reflects the broader cultural shift towards accepting and celebrating diverse body types and physical appearances in the mid-20th century. The song presents Short Fat Fannie in a positive light, defying societal norms that had previously deemed such body types as undesirable.

Line by Line Meaning

Tired slippin' and slidin' with a long tall Sally
I'm exhausted from trying to be with someone who doesn't want to be with me

Peekin' and a hidin', duckin' back in the alley
I've been avoiding confrontations and hiding from my problems

Don't wanna rip it up, don't wanna dance with Annie
I don't want to party with just anyone and I'm not interested in dancing right now

I've got a brand new lover name is Short Fat Fannie
I've found someone new that I'm interested in and her name is Short Fat Fannie

One day while I was visiting at Heart Break Hotel
I was feeling really down and hopeless

That's where I met Fannie and she sure looked swell
But then I met Fannie and she seemed really great

I told her that I loved her and I'd never leave
I expressed my commitment and love to Fannie

She put her arms around me, gave me fever
Fannie showed me affection and made me feel passionate

She's my tutti fruiti, I love the child so
Fannie is my sweet and loveable girl

She watch me like a hound dog everywhere I go
Fannie is always keeping an eye on me and watching my every move

Whenever I'm around her I'm on my p's and q's
I always make sure to behave well and be on my best behavior around her

She might step on my blue suede shoes
I have to be careful not to let Fannie hurt me or my things

Well at a honky tonk party just the other night
I was at a party with Fannie and some friends recently

Fannie got jealous and she started a fight
Fannie got upset and started causing trouble because she thought I was flirting with someone else

Because I was dancing with Mary Lou
Fannie thought I was interested in another woman named Mary Lou

I had to call Jim Dandy to the rescue
I had to ask my friend Jim Dandy to help calm Fannie down and resolve the situation

Short Fat Fannie she's my hearts desire
Fannie is the one I really want and love

Short Fat Fannie sets my soul on fire
Being with Fannie makes me feel passionate and alive

On Monday we were married on Blueberry Hill
Fannie and I got married in a romantic location called Blueberry Hill

Now we're so happy and I love her still
Now we're in a happy and loving relationship and I still love Fannie just as much

I am here because I remember this song, still need to listen to Lil' Richard's version to understand which one wakes-up my memory.....but, I also remember those 57 Chevrolet's, with the sucking air sound, from the various Carburetors.
I was ten, but I also remember the Grown-ups doing the "Huckle Buck", At the time I knew they were dancing, but, I'd only seen them coming home from work etc., I'd NEVER seen Grown Folks Dancing. I thought they were Very Funny, but, I put my hands over my month to hide my laughter and just starred with my eyes.

Larry Williams (né Lawrence Eugene[citation needed] Williams aka Lawrence Edward Williams; May 10, 1935 – January 7, 1980[1]) was an American rhythm and blues and rock and roll singer, songwriter, producer, and pianist from New Orleans, Louisiana. Williams is best known for writing and recording some rock and roll classics from 1957 to 1959 for Specialty Records, including "Bony Moronie", "Short Fat Fannie", "Slow Down", "Dizzy, Miss Lizzy" (1958), "Bad Boy" and "She Said Yeah" (1959).[2] John Lennon was a fan, and The Beatles and several other British Invasion groups recorded several of his songs.

My mom bought me 78s of Hound Dog/Don't Be Cruel and Peggy Sue at a Woolworths in '56....I was like 11. From there I went to 45s.... I was modern!

This record was bought by my mother for my 10th birthday for the princely sum of six and seven pence half penny(around 35p) . I have recently re bought it on the Specialty 608 label 45 rpm. Well worth it.
