Lyrics
In me, you see a youth
Who is completely on the loose
No yens, no yearnings
No strings and no connections
No ties to my affections
I'm fancy free and free for anything fancy
No dates that can't be broken
No words that can't be spoken
Especially when I am feeling romancy
Like a robin upon a tree
Like a sailor that goes to sea
Like an unwritten melody
I'm free, that's me
So bring on the big attraction
My decks are cleared for action
I'm fancy free and free for anything fancy[1]
