Whatever Happen to Fannie Mae?

The other day I heard big time Tom ask old man Pete,

"Whatever happen to that girl who always looked so neat?
you know the one that had the pretty brown skin and the nice clean feet?
She had a cute mole on the left side of her face
and her lips were always painted peach."

"She used to wear skin tight black pants that hit just below her knee and
she had the prettiest legs that I ever did see."
"Now, those pants showed off her body in the most provocative way;
the men were glad, but the women cursed her day.

"Boy, old man Johnny was sure sweet on her,"
and someone once told me, that he used to buy
her diamonds and furs."

"Now old man Johnny couldn't dance a lick, but
whenever she came around, he always tried to
do the splits.
He would make it half-way down, but that was as
far as he could go and someone
always had to help him up off of the blind pig's floor.

That girl would laugh and laugh and then clap her hands,
and she would always tell Johnny "You're a very brave man.
You do that better than some of the young men of today
- now how about you and I and our usual date?"

"Heated by the passion of love and the wonders of the night,
they would hurry out the door and out of everyone's sight,
but no matter how far she strayed and shook it in the night,
old man Johnny knew, that she couldn't stay all night."

Pete scratched his head and thought and thought, but he
kept drawing a blank for the woman they sought.
Then like a bolt of lighting he jumped up from his seat,
"It was Fannie Mae Allen," he shouted, "the no-good bleak, bleak."
He said, "Fannie was a beautiful woman this is true,
but she was a no good b-t-h because she was married to Cal,
who was a gentleman and a true blue."

The last time I saw Fannie she and Cal had divorced, and
she was serving God as a Muslim and going to church.

"Fannie was still beautiful as far as I could tell, but
she had lost that whore look and that flirtatious tail.
She looked hurt for a moment for how she used to live,
but she also looked relieved that she was now doing God's will."

Tom said, "You know, if I hadn't been so scare and a little shy,
It could've been me instead of that other guy.
You know, sneaking off with her into night and
having her back before anyone could blink an eye."

Old man Pete laughed long and hard and then
shook Tom's hand. "I don't doubt that for moment,
Tommy my friend, because anyone can see
that you're the man."
