Penny Was A Tomboy
I knew a girl called Penny
She showed me how to show it off
My brother loved her sister
Her sister's name was Jennifer
We loved The Sound of Music
And crossed the River Tamar
There was this (hoolie?), Henry
He didn't ever take their pants off
My father's in the Navy
He always drives his submarine
Penny was a tomboy
She used to shriek with laughter
Penny I remember you
So clearly we were dancing through the night
Do you want to sing Edelweiss?
It's no sin to (prop), hon
(Teen muscles) on the lawn with knives
A day out in the forest
We strip and hide behind the trees
I'd meet her on a Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
And leave her on a Sunday
And then there was this hermit
We camped outside his soft herb cave
Sometimes we'd see bodies
Washed up in seaweed on the beach
Penny was a tomboy
She used to shriek with laughter
Mommy can't stop digging in the desert for Turks
Daddy's playing cricket on the top of the world
Oh Penny would ya
Penny would ya
Penny would ya
Penny would ya
Penny I remember you
So clearly we were dancing through the night
Do you want to sing Edelweiss?
Be a princess but the first prize game
To me I looked into your eyes and they were blue
I was wearing Tigger
And my brothers went as Tweedledee and -dum
Oh I forgot that you
Were dressed as Joan of Arc
You looked the best
But Penny didn't win a prize
Penny I remember you
So clearly we were dancing through the night
Do you want to sing Edelweiss?
Penny I remember you
So clearly we were dancing through the night
Do you want to sing Edelweiss?
