A Penny for a Tale |
| Let me tell you a tale for a penny |
| One that you can not hear anywhere else |
| Not anywhere else |
| I heard from a birdy it doesn’t end purdy |
| It doesn’t end well |
| No it never ends well |
| Let me spin you a yarn for a cent |
| Lord, would it not be a sin to deny yourselves a tale? |
| A penny, a penny, a penny for an old beggar-man's story |
| A story. |
| A penny for a tale |
| There once was a doggy (woof woof woof) |
| She pranced in the moon with a mouthful of shiny red pennies |
| She lept and she wagged, so proud of her shiny red pennies |
| Leaping with glee |
| She trotted by the river (trot trot trot) |
| And oh, bless my soul, she saw her reflection in water |
| A pup with a jaw full of shiny red pennies |
| In water |
| She trotted as she plotted |
| To pirate these pennies — oh, how they teased |
| Lord, lord, that greed, it’ll kill you |
| Lord, lord, go on, pass the hat, will you? |
| Your purse strings are tight. |
| Bleed for a sinner |
| I just need a few pennies more! |
| A few pennies more! |
| But greedy, so greedy (me me me) |
| She snarled as she swiped |
| And struck at the mud |
| At the water |
| A foolish pooch loots from herself in the water |
| Her reflection struck back |
| Lord, I want to go on with the song |
| But don’t make it bring up what she did to that pup |
| That cute little pup |
| I just might well up |
| But I’ll continue my rhyme for a dime |
| Or a penny is fine |
| These are difficult times |
| Yes, difficult times |
| Thank you sir, you’re too kind |
| Lord, lord, that greed, it’ll kill you. |
| Lord, lord, go on, pass the hat, will ya? |
| Your purse strings are tight. |
| Bleed for a sinner |
| I just need a few pennies more! |
| A few pennies more! |
| Lord, lord, that greed, it’ll kill you |
| Lord, lord, go on, pass the hat, will ya? |
| Your purse strings are tight. |
| Bleed for a sinner |
| I just need a few pennies more! |
| A few pennies more! |
| A few pennies more |
| And so did our doggie (bark bark bark) |
| She’d kill for a bite |
| Of those shiny red pennies |
| She left and she barked at the dog in the water |
| But her pennies, her pennies |
| THey dropped down, down |
| And after them, the shot |
| Down, down, down in the waters below! |
| God rest her soul |
