In October 1966 the single reached #1 in Germany, #2 in Belgium and #3 in the Netherlands. Uk and US were asleep. An early winter's sleep...
The song is about Ray's brother Dave.
DANDY
(Ray Davies)
Dandy, Dandy
Where you gonna go now?
Who you gonna run to?
All you 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 all 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.
