Escrita por
Ray Davies, foi gravada em maio e junho de 1966 no Pye Studios, em
Londres. Foi lançada no disco Face to face, de 1966.
A letra fala
do Dandy, que caça toda as meninas e elas não podem resistir ao seu
sorriso. Porém, ele avisa que quando o Dandy ficar velho, ele não
terá prestado atenção no que diziam, que duas mulheres é demais,
três é uma multidão e quatro você está morto. Mesmo assim, o
cantor se solidariza com o Dandy, dizendo que ele está certo. É uma
mistura de raiva e admiração do cantor com o Dandy.
Foi lançada
em compacto e chegou ao número 1 na Alemanha, número 2 na Bélgica
e número 3 na Holanda.
A versão
dos Herman's Hermits chegou ao número 1 no Canadá e número 5 nos
Estados Unidos, além de número 3 na Nova Zelândia.
A letra:
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.
Checkin' out 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.
You're all right.
You're all right.
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.
Checkin' out 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.
You're all right.
You're all right.
