Penny

I once had a penny.
It was shiny, made in '20.
I held on to that penny
Til I was 23.

I met a girl whose name was Jenny,
And she reminded me of penny,
With her copper hair flowing
So nice and free.

I also knew a man named Benny.
He was real good friends with Jenny,
And I just didn't want
Him and her to be.

So I took my lucky penny,
Dipped in arsenic, covered plenty,
And gave it to dear Benny
For him to keep.

Then there was only me and Jenny,
and our good times, they were plenty.
She always came over
To visit me.

But she had a friend named Kenny.
He was an officer, knew a man named Benny.
He locked me up and
Threw away the key.

Now my age is thirty,
I've a new penny and it's dirty.
Gonna dip it in some arsenic
And count to four.
