Jenny made her mind up when she was three That she, herself, was going to trim the Christmas tree Christmas Eve she lit a candle, threw the taper away Little Jenny was an orphan on Christmas Day
Poor Jenny, bright as a penny Her equal would be hard to find Deserved a bed of roses, but history has showed us that she would make up her mind
And so... I'm left without my Penny The wolf was not smart He left me my heart And so I cannot go for anything but de la belle La perfectly swell romance Never gonna dance Only gonna love.... you Never .. gonna... dance
"Never gonna dance", from a Fred & Ginger movie where Ginger Roger's character is named Penny. I think the song says both "left without a penny" and "left without my Penny" in different parts

And so... I'm left without my Penny
The wolf was not smart
He left me my heart
And so
I cannot go for anything but de la belle
La perfectly swell romance

With never a penny of money
