Penny Candy Lyrics


There's a little girl lives on our street
She's awful sweet and pretty
The boys stand on their heads for her
But she thinks they're all silly
She's got freckles on her nose
Her hair is light and sandy
Penelope Candance is her name
But we call her Penny CandyShe doesn't know what a nickel is
She's got no use for dollars
There's always a penny in her hand
And a licorice on her collar
She's the sweetest girl in town
The little boys think she's a dandy
But the monkey shines don't bother her
While she's eatin' Penny Candy
Penny Candy she eats that messy kind
Penny Candy she eats it all the timeShe brightens up the neighborhood
Her little face is always glowing

And when she's in a hurry
We all know where she's a going
It's to the little corner store
That's awful close and handy
Then once again her happy face
Is black with Penny Candy
Penny Candy she eats that messy kind
Penny Candy she eats it all the timeShe's always got a smile for you
If you should ever meet her
And with Candy on her face
Her smile is a little sweeter
Penelope Candance is her name
And she likes that fine and dandy
But if you want to see her dimples show
Just call her Penny Candy
Penny Candy she eats that messy kind
Penny Candy she eats it all the time

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Jim Reeves (1923 - 1964), known affectionately as 'Gentleman Jim', was a country singer known for his velvety voice. Through his unique style, which fused the laidback style of crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby with country material, he brought country music to a whole new audience. He was also one of the first to bring country music to places outside of America, gaining widespread popularity in Britain, Europe, South Africa and India.

His prolific career was cut tragically short in 1964 by a plane crash. However, even after his death, his popularity did not wane and he continued to have hits some years after his death, with previously unreleased songs and remastered earlier material.

Added 01: One interesting fact was that he recorded an album in Afrikaans for Afrikaners in South Africa. How do I know? I bought the LP many years ago.
