Nancy Kwan Quotes:

'Sammy' Fong: Baby, you remember the new convertible you've been drooling over? Well it's yours.
Linda Low: I don't want it.


Linda Low: [singing] I'm a girl and by me that's only great, I am proud that my silhouette is curvy. / That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait with my hips kind of swively and swirly. / I enjoy being dressed in something frilly when my date comes to get me at my place, / Out I go with my Joe or John or Billy like a filly who is ready for the race. / When I have a brand new hairdo with my eye lashes all in curl, / I float as the clouds on air do, I enjoy being a girl. / When men say I'm cute and funny and my teeth aren't teeth but pearl, / I just lap it out like honey, I enjoy being a girl. / I flip when a fellow sends me flowers, I drool over dresses made of lace, / I talk on the telephone for hours with a pound and a half of cream upon my face. / I'm strictly a female female and my future I hope will be / In the home of a brave and free male who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl like me.


Linda Low: [singing] Fan Tan Fanny was leaving her man, / Fan Tan Fanny kept waiving her fan, / Said "Goodbye Danny, you two timing Dan", / Some other man loves your little Fanny. Bye! Bye! / In the icebox you'll find in a can / Some leftovers of Moo Goo Gai Pan. / Fan Tan Fanny has found a new guy, / His name is Manny, he's good for Fanny, / So goodbye, Danny, goodbye! / Bye! Bye!
