Loading...

[liza]
there once was a girl named jenny
whose virtues were varied and many
excepting that she was inclined
always to make up her mind
and jenny points a moral
with which you cannot quarrel
as you will find
jenny made her mind up when she was three
she herself was going to trim the christmas tree
christmas eve she lit the candles, tossed the taper away
little jenny was an orphan on christmas day

[ensemble]
poor jenny! bright as a penny!
her equal would be hard to find

[liza]
oh, she lost one dad and mothеr
a sister and a brother
but she would makе up her mind

[ensemble]
jenny was an orphan on christmas day

[liza]
jenny made her mind up when she was twelve
that into foreign languages she would delve
but at seventeen to vassar it was quite a blow
that in twenty+seven languages she couldn’t say no
(ho ho ho ho)
[ensemble]
poor jenny! bright as a penny!
her equal would be hard to find

[liza]
to jenny i’m beholden
her heart was big and golden
but she would make up her mind

[ensemble]
in twenty+seven languages she couldn’t say no

[liza]
jenny made her mind up at thirty+two
to get herself a husband was the thing to do
so she got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs
and she got herself a husband, but he wasn’t hers

[ensemble]
poor jenny! bright as a penny!
her equal would be hard to find

[liza]
could have had a bed of roses
but history discloses
that she would make up her mind
[ensemble]
she got herself a husband, but he wasn’t hers

[liza]
jenny made her mind up at seventy+five
she would live to be the oldest woman alive
but gin and rum and destiny play funny tricks
and jenny kicked the bucket at seventy+six

[ensemble]
jenny points a moral
with which you cannot quarrel
makes a lot of common sense

[liza]
jenny and her saga
prove that you are gaga
if you keep sitting on the fence

[ensemble]
jenny and her story
point the way to glory
to all man+ and womankind

[liza]
anyone with vision
comes to this decision
don’t make up
you shouldn’t make up
you mustn’t make up
oh never make up
[ensemble]
anyone with vision
comes to this decision
don’t

[liza]
don’t

[ensemble]
make

[liza]
make

[ensemble]
up

[liza]
up

[ensemble]
your

[liza]
your

[liza & ensemble]
mind!
