In old Savannah I said Savannah The weather there is nice and warm The climate’s of the southern brand But one thing I don’t understand They’ve got a gal there A pretty gal there Who’s colder than an artic storm She’s got a heart just like a stone Even icemen leave her alone They call her "hard hearted Hannah" The vamp of Savannah -meanest gal in town Now you talk about your cold, refridgerating mamas She’s the polar bear’s pyjamas To tease them and thrill `em Torture and kill `em Is her delight, they say Now I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan Why there was Hannah pourin’ water on a drownin’ man I mean she’s hard hearted Hannah The vamp of Savannah, G-A Now an evenin’ spent with Hannah sitting on your knees Is just like goin’ through Alaska in your BVDs I mean she’s hard hearted Hannah I said hard hearted Hannah I mean she’s hard hearted Hannah -the vamp of Savannah, G-A Edit:wrote this myself because I couldn’t find the lyrics to this composition
Great Actress and Performer. And a Friggin' C"nt. Just like Rue and Betty said. And I KNNOW. I was THERE! Yet: A GREAT Friggin' Actor and Performer. She is!!
Lyrics to Hard Hearted Hannah In old Savannah, I said Savannah, The weather there is nice and warm! The climates of a Southern brand, But here's what I don't understand, They got a gal there, a pretty gal there, Who's colder than an Arctic storm, Got a heart just like a stone, Even ice men leave her alone! They call her Hard Hearted Hannah, The vamp of Savannah, The meanest gal in town, Leather is tough, but Hannah's heart is tougher, She's a gal who loves to see men suffer! To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em, Is her delight, they say, I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan, There was Hannah pouring water on a drownding man! She's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA! They call her Hard Hearted Hannah, The vamp of Savannah, The meanest gal in town, Talk of your cold, refrigeratin' mamas, Brother, she's a polar bear's pajamas! To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em, Is her delight, they say, An evening spent with Hannah sittin' on your knees, Is like travelin' through Alaska in your B-V-D's. She's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!

She sang part of this on "The Golden Girls"!
Yes, on its last season.
I like the "Golden Girls" one better because it's more upbeat. Plus, I'm a huge Golden Girls fan!
Yes
She sang this in her live shows. It was one of her regulars.
Oh Maudie where are you when we need you most? You're missed Miss Bea.
I wish I could like this comment 100x
Sarah Forquer So do I!
She loved that song! Ms. Bea Arthur sang it @ every opportunity. This version, I love and is the best of all!❤️❤️ RIP, Dorothy …🥰🥰
Long live the queen.
she's farrrrking amazing
Just wow. I would do anything to see this lady perform. This is a true star.
Stupendous interpretation of the classic "Hard Hearted Hannah", in the lovely voice of Bea Arthur.
She did the same song on an episode of Golden Girls.
Love how Dorothy sings this song!!!
To some of us, she'll always be Maude Findlay. 'Right on, Maude'!
MY grandson said i look and behave and speak like BEA Arthur
And then its Mary Jane
Bea was a Staff Sergeant in the U.S Marines Women's Reserve...so she was a tough cookie herself
In old Savannah
I said Savannah
The weather there is nice and warm
The climate’s of the southern brand
But one thing I don’t understand
They’ve got a gal there
A pretty gal there
Who’s colder than an artic storm
She’s got a heart just like a stone
Even icemen leave her alone
They call her "hard hearted Hannah"
The vamp of Savannah
-meanest gal in town
Now you talk about your cold, refridgerating mamas
She’s the polar bear’s pyjamas
To tease them and thrill `em
Torture and kill `em
Is her delight, they say
Now I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan
Why there was Hannah pourin’ water on a drownin’ man
I mean she’s hard hearted Hannah
The vamp of Savannah, G-A
Now an evenin’ spent with Hannah sitting on your knees
Is just like goin’ through Alaska in your BVDs
I mean she’s hard hearted Hannah
I said hard hearted Hannah
I mean she’s hard hearted Hannah
-the vamp of Savannah, G-A
Edit:wrote this myself because I couldn’t find the lyrics to this composition
They don’t have Google where you live?
Rest in power, Queen 👑
"Polar bear pajamas" ...sweet
My grandma used to sing this as a lullaby. Actually she sang a lot of vaudeville type songs to us.
She also performed this song on Golden Girls
I still remember this episode. While Arthur is doing his act, Carol (Adrienne Barbeau) came out doing a wild stripper dance.
I know someone called Hannah, so this always has me in stiches laughing !!.
she did this in golden girls i just watched that episode
What show do you like better the golden girls or maude?
@@millyvelasquez6707 the golden girls , but only because i recall it . maude was before we had a tv . yourself , which do you prefer ?
Bea Arthur also sang in the Star Wars Holiday Special
She's awesome singing this song. Miss you Bea! ❤️
The legend. The trailblazer.
Great Actress and Performer. And a Friggin' C"nt. Just like Rue and Betty said. And I KNNOW. I was THERE! Yet: A GREAT Friggin' Actor and Performer. She is!!
Fun to watch this!
I prefer this version over Bea's Golden Girls rendition (though by not much, they're both excellent)
i like Bea's version in Maude better then in Golden Girls
0:47 😻
this song (and/or 'her' version) is kind of fun to yell around the house on a slow day
Would have like to see her dance a little
🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️

Who did it better? Maude or Dorothy??
Both 💛 …but maybe Maude for me 🌹
