《Saga Of Jenny》歌词

[00:00:00] Saga Of Jenny - Will Holt/Martha Schlamme

[00:00:04] Jenny made her mind up when she was three

[00:00:07] She herself was going to trim the christmas tree

[00:00:10] Christmas eve she lit the candles tossed the tapers away

[00:00:13] Little jenny was an orphan on christmas day

[00:00:16] Poor jenny bright as a penny

[00:00:19] Her equal would be hard to find

[00:00:21] She lost one dad and mother a sister and a brother

[00:00:24] But she would make up her mind

[00:00:29] Jenny made her mind up when she was twelve

[00:00:32] That into foreign languages she would delve

[00:00:34] But at seventeen to vassar it was quite a blow

[00:00:37] That in twenty seven languages she couldn't say no

[00:00:41] Poor jenny bright as a penny

[00:00:43] Her equal would be hard to find

[00:00:46] To jenny i'm beholden her heart was big and golden

[00:00:49] But she would make up her mind

[00:00:54] Jenny made her mind up at twenty two

[00:00:57] To get herself a husband was the thing to do

[00:00:59] She got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs

[00:01:02] And she got herself a husband but he wasn't hers

[00:01:05] Poor jenny bright as a penny

[00:01:08] Her equal would be hard to find

[00:01:11] Deserved a bed of roses but history discloses

[00:01:14] That she would make up her mind

[00:01:18] Jenny made her mind up at fifty one

[00:01:21] She would write her memoirs before she was done

[00:01:24] The very day her book was published history relates

[00:01:27] There were wives who shot their husbands in some

[00:01:29] Thirty three states

[00:01:30] Poor jenny bright as a penny

[00:01:33] Her equal would be hard to find

[00:01:36] To jenny i'm beholden her heart was big and golden

[00:01:39] But she would make up her mind

[00:01:43] Jenny made her mind up at seventy five

[00:01:46] She would live to be the oldest woman alive

[00:01:49] But gin and rum and destiny play funny tricks

[00:01:52] And poor jenny kicked the bucket at seventy six

[00:01:55] Jenny and her story point the way to glory

[00:01:58] To all man and womankind

[00:02:00] Anyone with vision comes to this decision

[00:02:03] You mustn't make up you mustn't make up

[00:02:05] You shouldn't make up shouldn't make up

[00:02:06] Anyone with vision comes to this decision

[00:02:09] Don't make up your mind
