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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As you will find [00:00:30]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In Portuguese or Spanish[00:02:04]

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

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

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

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

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

Jenny points a moral[00:02:27]

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

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

Jenny and her saga[00:02:35]

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

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

Jenny and her story[00:02:42]

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

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

Anyone with vision[00:02:50]

Comes to this decision[00:02:52]

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

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

Anyone with vision[00:02:58]

Comes to this decision[00:03:00]

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