Penny Candy Lyrics

There's a little girl lives on our street she's awful sweet and pretty The boys stand on their heads for her but she thinks they're all silly She's got freckles on her nose her hair is light and sandy Penelope Candance is her name but we call her Penny Candy She doesn't know what a nickel is she's got no use for dollars There's always a penny in her hand and a licorise on her collar She's the sweetest girl in town the little boys think she's a dandy But the monkey shines don't bother her when she's eatin' Penny Candy Penny Candy she eats that messy kind Penny Candy she eats it all the time [ guitar ] She brightens up the neighborhood her little face is always glowing And when she's in a hurry we all know where she's a going It's to the little corner store that's awful close and handy Then once again her happy face is black with Penny Candy Penny Candy she eats that messy kind Penny Candy she eats it all the time [ guitar ] She's always got a smile for you if you should ever meet her And with Candy on her face her smile is a little sweeter Penelope Candance is her name and she likes that fine and dandy But if you want to see her dimples show just call her Penny Candy Penny Candy she eats that messy kind Penny Candy she eats it all the time
