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
