ME SINGING PEGGY (=DANDY) WITH THE KAST OFF KINKS

In January 2004 I was thinking about proposing to my  girlfriend Peggy Wedding during the 7th Dutch Kinks Fan Meeting in September 2004 (What else can you expect with a name like that?)

I asked John Dalton if I could sing a song with The Kast Off Kinks for this special event and John immediately answered "Yes".

First I thought about Buddy Holly's Peggy Sue (Peggy toe, Peggy toe, 'k ben het lange wachten moe), but Peggy hates that song
and because it's a Kinks-meeting I decided to go for a Kinks-song. Peggy likes the song Dandy and Dandy can easily be changed to Peggy,
so Dandy it should be.

Below you'll find the original songtext and the Dutch sleeve of Dandy and the changed words, the sleeve and an MP3 of Peggy:

I forgot the opening line of the 2nd verse (maybe I was a bit nervous after all?), so there is some extra "la la la la la" between verse 1 and 2,
and the Dutch lines are not on the MP3 (yet).

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 Ohoh, they long for Dandy, Dandy Checking out the ladies Tickling their fancy Pouring out your charm To meet your own demands And turn it off at will Ohoh, they long for Dandy, Dandy Knocking on the backdoor Climbing through the window Hubby's gone away And while the cat's away The mice are gonna play Ohoh, you're 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 'round thee and see the people settle down And when you're old and grey you will remember what I said That 2 girls are too many, 3's a crowd and 4 you're dead Oh Dandy, Dandy When you're 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

Peggy, Peggy Nowhere you can go now Nowhere you can run to The last years of my life I'm looking at you, girl I can't resist your smile Ohoh, I long for Peggy, Peggy You're my little lady Tickling my fancy Pouring out your charm To meet all my demands And turn it off at will Ohoh, I long for Peggy, Peggy Shall we close the backdoor? Shall we blind the window? Let's just  dream away And while the kids away We are gonna play Ohoh, and lie down Peggy, Peggy Peggy Peggy, you think I'm moving much too fast But Peggy, I know we can't escape the past Look 'round, dear, and see our friends have all come 'round And when they're old and grey they will remember what I said I love you, Peggy Wedding, let's get wed before we're dead Oh Peggy, Peggy I'm not gonna give up Aren't you feeling young now You always will be free And have my sympathy But a bachelor I won't stay So Peggy, marry me Can't you see You're all for me I love you And if you love me too Just say "I do"

Peggy, Peggy Wil je met me trouwen Laat me van je houden Liefste, wordt mijn vrouw Want ik hou van jou En blijf je eeuwig trouw Oh Peggy, maak me blij Zeg dat jij Ook houdt van mij Trouw met mij Doe me na Zeg toch "Ja"

So the motto of the 7th meeting, You really got me (see the background of the first 2 pictures), suddenly got a second meaning for us!
