Hard Hearted Hannah - Ella Fitzgerald

In old Savannah, I said Savannah

The weather there is nice and warm

The climate’s of the Southern brand

But here’s something I don’t understand

Hey got 'em a gal there

A pretty, pretty gal there

Who’s colder than an Arctic storm

Got a heart made like a stone

Even icemen leave her alone!

They call her Hard Hearted Hannah

Vamp of Savannah

The meanest gal in town

Leather is tough

But Hannah’s heart is tougher

She’s a gal who loves to see a man suffer!

Tease 'em, and thrill 'em

To torture and kill 'em

Is her delight, they say

Saw her at the seashore with a great big pan

There was Hannah pourin' water on a drownin' man!

She’s Hard Hearted Hannah

The vamp of Savannah, G-A!

They call her Hard Hearted Hannah

Vamp of Savannah

The very meanest gal in town

You can talk about your cold, refrigeratin' mamas

She’s the polar bear’s pajamas!

Tease 'em, and thrill 'em, torture and kill 'em

Is her delight, they say

An evenin' spent with Hannah on your knees

Is like travelin' through Alaska in your B-V-Ds!

She’s Hard Hearted Hannah…

Cold-blooded Hannah…

She’s Hard Hearted Hannah

The vamp of Savannah, G-A!
