Dandy The Kinks Cover Acoustic

©1966 by Raymond Douglas Davies
"Dandy" is a 1966 song from The Kinks, appearing on their Face to Face album. It was released as a single in Continental Europe only, where it charted, reaching #1 in Germany, #2 in Belgium and #3 in the Netherlands. In some countries, the single was flipped with "Party Line" (also from Face to Face) as the A-side.
In the song, songwriter Ray Davies skewered the would-be master lover of the title. There is speculation that Davies wrote the song in reference to the wild lifestyle of his younger brother, Kinks guitarist Dave Davies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dandy, Dandy, where you gonna go now?
Who you gonna run to?
All your little life you're chasing all the girls.
They can't resist your smile. Oh, they long for Dandy, Dandy.

Chattin' up the ladies, tickling their fancy,
Pouring out your charm to meet your own demands,
And turn it off at will. Oh, they long for Dandy, Dandy.

Knockin' on the back door, climbing through the window,
Hubby's gone away, and while the cat's away
The mice are gonna play. Oh, you low down Dandy, Dandy.
Dandy

Dandy, you know you're moving much too fast,
And Dandy, you know you can't escape the past.
Look around you and see the people settle down,
And when you're old and grey you will remember what they said,
That two girls are too many, three's a crowd and four you're dead.

Oh Dandy, Dandy, when you gonna give up?
Are you feeling old now?
You always will be free, you need no sympathy,
A bachelor you will stay, and Dandy, you're all right.
You're all right.
You're all right.
You're all right.
