I was slippin' and a slidin' with Long Tall Sally,
C
Peepin' and a-hidin' duckin' back in the alley.
F
Don't wanna Rip It Up, don't wanna dance with Annie,
        D                     G7
I got a brand new lover named Short Fat Fannie.

One day while I was busy in the Heartbreak Hotel.

That's where I met Fannie and she sure looked swell.
  F
I told her that I loved her, I'd never leave her..
G7
She put her arms around me..gave me Fever.

CHORUS:
F
She's my Tutti-Fruitti, I love the child so..
    C
she watch me like a Hound Dog everywhere I go.
    F
Whenever I'm around I'm on my P's and Q's..
D                    G7
She might step on my Blue Suede Shoes.

#3.
C
Well, at a honky-tonk party just the other night,

Fannie got jealous and she started a fight.
        F
Because I was dancin' with Mary Lou,
D                              G7
I had to call Jim Dandy to the rescue.
