"Everybody's Fancy" is a song by Fred Rogers which he performed on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood children's public TV show. He was gifted in imagination and in sharing it with others in person or through the new-fangled medium of television. He started in the very early days of programming. The song is about boys and girls and how our bodies are different but equally just great the way they are. I added a few stanzas for our modern times and think the song is still very relevant. I do not have Copyright permission but encourage you to sing along in the spirit of neighborliness and within the guidelines of Fair Use. The song is sung by Fred Rogers on the show many times over the years and a clip shows him from early years to later years - as cheerful and kind as ever. See: Was Mister Rogers a TERF? - by Mickey Z. - Post-Woke (substack.com) "Everybody's fancy", Fred Rogers, Lyrics with six additional lines by me: Some are fancy on the outside, Some are fancy on the inside, Chorus: Everybody's fancy, everybody's fine, Your body's fancy and so is mine. Stanza 2: Boys are boys from the beginning, Girls are girls right from the start. Stanza 3: (Only) girls can grow up to be the mommies, (Only) boys can grow up to be the daddies. Stanza 4: I think you're a special person and I like your ins and outsides. -> Copyright Fred Rogers estate. New Stanza 5: We grow up to be the workers. We grow up to be the leaders. New Stanza 6: Some may feel different on their insides. Some may feel different on their outsides. New Stanza 7: Some may feel like running bases. Some may feel like playing house. Everybody's happy, everybody's glad, That their body's healthy, and not a fad. Repeat chorus between each stanza except 7, and repeat Stanza 4 again at the end followed by the chorus again. *An initial version is included with the word 'Only' as Mr. Rogers sang it. It fits the tune better without the word and modern times too - slightly less abrasive without it. A second version with a new Stanza 7 chorus is included as an opening in case people don't want to hear about endocrine disrupting chemicals - the trauma part is in the second half though.
