Penny

So you say you want a friend

But you don’t know where to find one

Don’t know how to tell time

Clock right on the wall

And aren’t I invisible?

My face, too, just a scenery to you, oh.

A scenery to you, oh.

 

My pants weighed down

With pockets full of pity

But I don’t have any money,

Could you spare a penny, honey?

My pants weighed down

With pockets full of pity,

Seems I’m out of my money,

So you give a belt, honey,

You see, I have no pennies to spare.

 

And you creep into your bed

So your nightmares never find you

Don’t know how to sleep

With the time ticking by

And aren’t I a pillow?

Comfortably numb, under your thumb,

Under your thumb

 

My pants weighed down

With pockets full of pity

But I don’t have any money,

Could you spare a penny, honey?

My pants weighed down

With pockets full of pity,

Seems I’m out of my money,

So you give a belt, honey,

You see, I have no pennies to spare.

 

And if you ever feel inclined to bite your tongue

I invite you to listen to anything around you

The clicking of the pennies that you walk on by

The clicking of the pennies that you walk on by

 

My pants weighed down

With pockets full of pity

But I don’t have any money,

Could you spare a penny, honey?

My pants weighed down

With pockets full of pity,

Seems I’m out of my money,

So you give a belt, honey,

You see, I gave my pennies,

So I have no penny at all.

No I have no pennies at all.

I gave my penny,

I gave my penny,

I gave my penny

And now I have no pennies at all.
