The Lyrics
As she mentioned on an interview in the "Facts of Life" 1st-season DVD set, Felice Schachter ("Nancy") was originally going to be the main girl in this new show that was starting up. She became disappointed that Nancy wasn't given that much as far as being a major part of the plots. The first verse starts out mentioning the clothing Nancy wore in the "Facts of Life" pilot episode on "Diff'rent Strokes". The second verse lists every major thing Nancy ever got to do on the show, ending with what she revealed about herself in the 1986 reunion episode with 3 of the 1st-year girls. This parody is also meant as a tribute to the "lost girls" of the first year of "The Facts of Life".
When I was young, I left my home, and was called away,
to Eastland.
With my chiffon and my dreams,
and my tight green leotards,
in Eastland.
But the critics told me,
this was wrong.
Said the cast list,
was too long.
By my TVQ is strong, I'm gonna make it big,
in Eastland.
They'll put my name on the screen with my picture,
and the ratings of my show will be strong.
There'll be the howling and screaming of the viewers,
when me and the blondes come on.
When I turn 'em on in Eastland.
Well they gave me grief because I had the highest IQ,
in Eastland.
And my dress got wet 'cause my umbrella got stuck,
outside Eastland.
I got two-timed, like a sop,
so I poured ice, down Blair's top.
Now I'm pregnant.
And that's all they let me do,
in Eastland.
They put my name on the screen with my picture,
though the ratings of our show weren't strong.
There was the howling and screaming of the viewers,
when me and those blondes came on.
The year we turned 'em on in Eastland.
La la la lala la lala, la la la lala la, Big in Eastland.
La la la lala la lala, la la la lala la, Big in Eastland.
to Eastland.
With my chiffon and my dreams,
and my tight green leotards,
in Eastland.
But the critics told me,
this was wrong.
Said the cast list,
was too long.
By my TVQ is strong, I'm gonna make it big,
in Eastland.
They'll put my name on the screen with my picture,
and the ratings of my show will be strong.
There'll be the howling and screaming of the viewers,
when me and the blondes come on.
When I turn 'em on in Eastland.
Well they gave me grief because I had the highest IQ,
in Eastland.
And my dress got wet 'cause my umbrella got stuck,
outside Eastland.
I got two-timed, like a sop,
so I poured ice, down Blair's top.
Now I'm pregnant.
And that's all they let me do,
in Eastland.
They put my name on the screen with my picture,
though the ratings of our show weren't strong.
There was the howling and screaming of the viewers,
when me and those blondes came on.
The year we turned 'em on in Eastland.
La la la lala la lala, la la la lala la, Big in Eastland.
La la la lala la lala, la la la lala la, Big in Eastland.
