The Monkees - Penny Music (stereo) songtekst
Je score:
Throw a penny from the window Watch an old man play a song On a twenty dollar violin he bought before the war Though he screeches and he scratches And the notes are always wrong But he plays like hes in concert On the street outside my door Choose to suit your fancy Are there any requests? Ill play them for a pennyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (play them for a penny) And not a penny less Hes the local vertuoso Its his only way of life Plays 97 overtures And goes on home to his wife In the quiet of the evening While his frozen fingers bleed He counts pennies On the blanket to supply his meeger(sp? ) needs Choose to suit your fancy Are there any requests? Ill play them for a pennyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (play them for a penny) And not a penny less When theres frost upon the pumpkin In the weakness of the sun People stand there in the cold Until his symphony is done In the early gray of morning Hes sure to come around You can hear him thru the window When the pennies hit the ground Choose to suit your fancy Are there any requests? Ill play them for a pennyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (play them for a penny) And not a penny less Theyre playing penny music (aaahhhhaaahhhh) Playing penny music (aaahhhhaaahhhh) (last two lines repeat a few more times)
