《The Saga Of Jenny》歌词

[00:00:00] The Saga Of Jenny (From "Lady In The Dark") - Gertrude Lawrence/Benny Goodman (本尼·古得曼)

[00:00:09] There once was a girl named Jenny

[00:00:13] Whose virtues were varied and many

[00:00:17] Excepting that she was inclined

[00:00:21] Always to make up her mind

[00:00:26] And Jenny points a moral

[00:00:28] With which you cannot quarrel

[00:00:30] As you will find

[00:00:34] Jenny made her mind up when she was three

[00:00:38] She herself was going to trim the Christmas tree

[00:00:42] Christmas Eve she lit the candles tossed the taper away

[00:00:46] Little Jenny was an orphan on Christmas Day

[00:00:50] Jenny made her mind up when she was twelve

[00:00:54] That into foreign languages she would delve;

[00:00:57] But at seventeen to Vassar it was quite a blow

[00:01:01] That in twenty-seven languages she couldn't say no

[00:01:06] Poor Jenny Bright as a penny

[00:01:10] Her equal would be hard to find

[00:01:13] To Jenny I'm beholden her heart was big and golden

[00:01:17] But she would make up her mind

[00:01:23] Jenny made her mind up at twenty-two

[00:01:27] To get herself a husband was the thing to do

[00:01:31] She got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs

[00:01:35] And she got herself a husband but he wasn't hers

[00:01:39] Jennt made her mind up at thirty-nine

[00:01:43] She would take a trip to the Argentine

[00:01:46] She was only on vacation but the Latins agree

[00:01:50] Jenny was the one who started the Good Neighbour Policy

[00:01:54] Poor Jenny Bright as a penny

[00:01:58] Her equal would be hard to find

[00:02:02] Oh passion doesn't vanish

[00:02:04] In Portuguese or Spanish

[00:02:06] But she would make up her mind

[00:02:12] Jenny made her mind up at seventy-five

[00:02:15] She would live to be the oldest woman alive

[00:02:19] But gin and rum and destiny play funny tricks

[00:02:23] And Jenny kicked the bucket at seventy-six

[00:02:27] Jenny points a moral

[00:02:29] With which we cannot quarrel

[00:02:31] Makes a lot of common sense

[00:02:35] Jenny and her saga

[00:02:37] Prove that you are gaga

[00:02:39] If you don't keep sitting on the fence

[00:02:42] Jenny and her story

[00:02:45] Point the way to glory

[00:02:46] To all man and womankind

[00:02:50] Anyone with vision

[00:02:52] Comes to this decision

[00:02:54] Don't make up You shouldn't make up

[00:02:56] You mustn't make up Oh never make up

[00:02:58] Anyone with vision

[00:03:00] Comes to this decision

[00:03:02] Don't make up your mind
