paroles de chanson Jenny - Danny Kaye

There once was a girl named jenny
Whose virtues were varied and many
Excepting that she was inclined
Always to make up her mind;
And jenny points a moral
With which you cannot quarrel
As you will find
[Refrain:
Jenny made her mind up when she was three
She herself was going to trim the christmas tree
Christmas eve she lit the candles tossed the taper away
Little jenny was an orphan on christmas day
Poor jenny! bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find
She lost one dad and mother
A sister and a brother
But she would make up her mind
Jenny made her mind up when she was twelve
That into foreign languages she would delve;
But at seventeen to vassar it was quite a blow
That in twentyseven languages she couldn't say no
Poor jenny! bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find
To jenny i'm beholden
Her heart was big and golden
But she would make up her mind
Jenny made her mind up at twentytwo
To get herself a husband was the thing to do
She got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs
And she got herself a husband but he wasn't hers
Poor jenny! bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find
Deserved a bed of roses
But history discloses
That she would make up her mind
Jenny made her mind up at thirtynine
She would take a trip to the argentine
She was only on vacation but the latins agree
Jenny was the one who started the good neighbor policy
Poor jenny! bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find
Oh passion doesn't vanish
In portuguese or spanish
But she would make up her mind
Jenny made her mind up at fiftyone
She would write her memoirs before she was done
The very day her book was published hist'ry relates
There were wives who shot their husbands in some thirtythree states
Poor jenny! bright as a penny!
Her equal would be ha
