Lyrics Benny's From Heaven / Pennies From Heaven - Manu Lafer

A long time ago a second liutenant named Spears
Returned to the states after being away three years
His wife said welcome home, dear
And since you've been gone, you see
We were blessed with a little baby
And a sweet little things is he
She took the baby in her arms
And said, Benny is his name
He said, I've been gone away for three years
Darling won't you please explain
So I won't seem so dumb
Tell me where did little Benny come from?

And every time he asked she'd say
Benny's from heaven
His face got red
But she repeatedly said
Benny's from heaven

He said I've asked the neighbors
That come around
But no one seems to remember Benny coming down

Well, he said, about a little thing like this
I ordinarily wouldn't bother
But, darling, there is one thing I know about children
I know they gotta have a father

So when I look at Benny I can plainly see
Benny's gotta be from heaven
'Cause he damn sure ain't from me

Trade them for a package of
Sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love
You must have showers

So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be Pennies from heaven
For you and for me

There'll be Pennies from heaven
For you and me
