"Hey There Fancypants" is a song by Ween from the 2003 album Quebec.

Song Details[edit | edit source]

The lead vocals are sung by Gene Ween. Dean Ween plays all guitars and bass on the track.[1]

"Hey There Fancypants" dates back to at least early 2002, when it was played live at a show that also contained early debuts of several other eventual Quebec songs.[2] An early demo recording can be heard on the semi-official The Caesar Demos.

"Hey There Fancypants" has never been a common live song, but has been played on an occasional basis ever since its debut.[3]

Lyrics[edit | edit source]

Official lyrics were printed in the Quebec liner notes:

Hey there fancypants
Play the songs that make us dance
Play the tunes that make the ladies swoon
A song for all the lonely hearts, shattered dreams and broken parts
But it feels like sunny days are coming soon

Hey Mr. Buttercup
Spin the wheel and try your luck
The spotlight's shining bright tonight on you
Bring along your lady friend, do a dance from way back when
Tonight's the night when all your dreams come true

Hey there sour grapes
Down in the dumps, long in the face
Drinkin' down your dinner, all alone
Feelin' bad, feelin' blue, tonight the rainbow ends with you
So sit on down and make yourself at home... So

Hey there fancypants
Play the songs that make us dance
Play the tunes that make the ladies swoon
A song for all the lonely hearts, shattered dreams and broken parts
But it feels like sunny days are coming soon[4]
