Penny Music
Lyricist:Michael J Leonard, Stroll, Bobby Weinstein
Throw a penny from the window Watch an old man play a song On a twenty dollar violin He bought before the war
Though he screeches and he scratches And the notes are always wrong But he plays like he's in concert On the street outside my door
Tunes to suit your fancy Are there any requests? I'll play them for a penny (Play them penny music, play them for a penny) And not a penny less
He's the local virtuoso It's his only way of life Plays ninety-seven overtures And goes home to his wife
In the quiet of the evening While his frozen fingers bleed He counts pennies on a blanket To supply his meager need
Tunes to suit your fancy Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Are there any requests? I'll play them for a penny (Play them penny music, play them for a penny) And not a penny less
When there's frost upon the pumpkin In the weakness of the sun People stand there in the cold Until his symphony is done
In the early gray of morning He's sure to come around You can hear him through the window When the pennies hit the ground
Tunes to suit your fancy Are there any requests? I'll play them for a penny (Play them penny music, play them for a penny) And not a penny less
They're playing penny music Playing penny music They're playing penny music Playing penny music Playing penny music
