The Saga of Jenny - Robert Merrill (罗伯特·梅里尔)/Robert Farnon[00:00:00]

There once was a girl named Jenny[00:00:05]

Whose virtues were varied and many[00:00:10]

Excepting that she was inclined[00:00:15]

Always to make up her mind[00:00:19]

And Jenny points a moral[00:00:24]

With which you cannot quarrel[00:00:27]

As you will find[00:00:30]

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 candlestossed the taper away[00:00:46]

Little Jenny was an orphan on Christmas Day[00:00:51]

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny[00:00:56]

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

She lost one dad and mother[00:01:04]

A sister and a brother[00:01:06]

But she would make up her mind[00:01:08]

Jenny made her mind up when she was twelve[00:01:15]

That into foreign languages she would delve[00:01:19]

But at seventeen to Vassar it was quite a blow[00:01:24]

That in twentyseven languages she couldn't say no[00:01:28]

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny[00:01:33]

Her equal would be hard to find[00:01:37]

To Jenny I'm beholden her heart was big and golden[00:01:41]

But she would make up her mind[00:01:46]

Jenny made her mind up but twentytwo[00:01:52]

To get herself a husband was the thing to do[00:01:57]

She got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs[00:02:01]

And she got herself a husband but he wasn't hers[00:02:05]

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny[00:02:10]

Her equal would be hard to find[00:02:14]

There did better rather but it's really closer[00:02:18]

But she would make up her mind[00:02:22]

Jennt made her mind up at thirtynine[00:02:34]

She would take a trip to the Argentine[00:02:38]

She was only on vacation but the Latins agree[00:02:42]

Jenny was the one who started the Good Neighbour Policy[00:02:46]

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny[00:02:52]

Her equal would be hard to find[00:02:56]

Oh passion doesn't vanish[00:03:00]

In Portuguese or Spanish[00:03:02]

But she would make up her mind[00:03:04]

Jenny made her mind up at fiftyone[00:03:09]

She would write her memoirs before she was done[00:03:13]

The very day her book was published hist'ry relates[00:03:18]

There were wives who shot their husbands in some thirtythree states[00:03:22]

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny[00:03:28]

Her equal would be hard to find[00:03:31]

She could give cards and spadeies[00:03:36]

To many other ladies[00:03:38]

But she would make up her mind[00:03:40]

Jenny made her mind up at seventyfive[00:03:47]

She would live to be the oldest woman alive[00:03:51]

But gin and rum and destiny play funny tricks[00:03:55]

And poor Jenny kicked the bucket at seventysix[00:03:59]

Jenny points a moral[00:04:04]

With which we cannot quarrel[00:04:06]

Makes a lot of common sense[00:04:08]

Jenny and her saga[00:04:13]

Prove that you are gaga[00:04:15]

If you don't keep sitting on the fence[00:04:17]

Jenny and her story[00:04:21]

Point the way to glory[00:04:23]

To all man and womankind[00:04:25]

Anyone with vision[00:04:30]

Comes to this decision[00:04:32]

Don't make up You shouldn't make up[00:04:34]

You mustn't make up Oh never make up[00:04:36]

Anyone with vision[00:04:38]

Comes to this decision[00:04:40]

Don't make up your mind[00:04:43]
