Once I strayed   'Neath the window of a lovely senorita   And she smiled   While I softly played my penny serenade      Si, si, si   You can hear it for a penny   Si, si, si   Just a penny serenade      In her eyes   Shone the tender dawn of love and sweet surrender   As for me   In my heart I played a lover's serenade      Si, si, si   Hear my love song for a penny   Si, si, si   Just a penny serenade      For that night so divine she was mine   No word had been spoken   When I woke from my dream she was gone   My poor heart was broken      Still I pray   That wherever she may be she will remember   In her heart   She will always hear my penny serenade      Si, si, si   Hear my love song for a penny   Si, si, si   Just a penny serenade
