Right before Betty Boop, The Bum bandit 1931 Version cartoon starring betty boop, this original starring helen kane was released.
Dangerous Nan McGrew is the sharp-shooting expert of a traveling medicine show that is stranded in the Canadian northwest at the snowbound hunting lodge of wealthy Mrs. Benson. Nan is invited to put on a show for the benefit of Mrs. Benson's Christmas-Eve guests. While performing her boop-a-doop songs, Eustace Macy, the saxophone-tooting nephew of Mrs. Benson falls in love with Nan. And, then, the villain, the bank-robbing Doc Foster, makes his entrance. Can Dawes of the Royal Mounted be seen slushing in pursuit behind the gangster? Could Be.
DANGEROUS NAN MCGREW
by Hartman & Goodhart
as sung by Helen Kane
Hotcha, Chacha, Vo-doe-de-oh, and Boop-oop Poop-oop-a-doop.
Tootin', shootin', high-falutin', I make you loop the loop.
I'm from the great North West.
I'm dif'rent from the rest.
Stand up, stand up, throw your hands up, I shoot pants and vest.
Oh, I've been a bad girl all my life.
I pick my teeth with a carving knife,
And I make a widow of a wife.
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew.
Why, I slapped Jack Dempsey in the face
And I make barbed wire look like lace
And I throw myself right out of place
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew.
And I eat dynamite
And I blow up in spite
I shoot everything in sight
Beware! Boom boom!
Take Care! Poo poo!
With one breath, I sink a boat
And if anybody gets my goat
I cut myself a piece of throat
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew.
Why, bullets, they bounce right off my chest
And I sleep on a hornet's nest
Why, I'm the gal sends show men west
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew.
Why, lions tremble when I frown
When that great big Zeppelin came to town,
Remember?
I'm the one that held it down
Because I'm dangerous Nan McGrew.
I like destroying pelf
I shoot bottles off the shelf
I'm so bad I scare myself.
Take care! Boom boom!
Beware! Poo poo!
Why, I pull a train right off the tracks
And for perfume, I use shellac
When mad dogs bite, I bite 'em back
Grrrr!
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew!
