I was just outside of
Austin in an old run -down motel
When I saw a pair of sad eyes that
I seemed to know so well
Right away she went on telling me
about the trouble she'd seen
The old story about no luck in love
and how life is dream or mean
Stay away from negative
Nancy, stick to positive
Polly
If you wanna make your life worthwhile,
keep waddling around
Stay away from negative
Nancy, stick to positive
Polly
Oh,
Miss
Nancy will surely weigh you down
Well, I don't know how it started
And how it came to be
But as long as I remember
I've been drawn to the ones in need
And it was my job to make things right
And to bring them happiness
And I thought till I was old, dried out,
and everything was a mess
Stay away from negative
Nancy, stick to positive
Polly
If you wanna make your life worthwhile,
keep
Polly around
Stay away from negative
Nancy, stick to positive
Polly
Oh, but
Miss
Fancy will surely wear you down
Wear me down!
Well, I've grown a little bit wiser,
and I'm older today
So when someone sad is needing me,
I hear a voice inside me say
Stay away from negative
Nancy, stick to positive
Molly
If you want to make your life worthwhile,
keep
Molly around
Stay away from negative
Nancy, stick to positive
Polly
Or
Miss
Nancy will surely weigh you down
Stay away from negative
Nancy, stick to positive
Polly
If you wanna make your
life worth while, be
Polly -round
Stay away from negative
Nancy, stick to positive
Polly
Oh,
Miss
Nancy will sure me wear you down
Oh,
Miss
Nancy will sure me wear you down
you
