Jim Reeves - 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
