Penny Candy (1955)
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 their all silly
She’s got freckles on her nose and her hair is light and sandy
Pentalope Candance is her name but we all 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 licorice on her collar
She’s the sweetest girl in town the little boys all thinks she’s a dandy
But their monkeyshines don’t bother her while she’s eating penny candy
Penny candy, she eats that messy kind
Penny candy, she eats it all the time
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
And once again her happy face in black with penny candy
Penny candy, she eats that messy kind
Penny candy, she eats it all the time
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
Pentalope 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
