Penny - The Honeycutters

All the boys on the corner just standing round

Say here comes Penny in her 88 Royale

What's she doing now

She's the queen of their hearts

She's the talk of the town

She's got rattle snake boots

Don't let nothing slow her down

Or turn her around

Oh Penny don't let no one

Turn her down

Don't sugar coat it

Don't tell lies

Gets what she wants

All she gotta do is smile

And they all get in line

She turns the fools into saints

The saints into fools

She can shoot her whiskey

Plays a real mean game of pool

All the boys get schooled

Oh Penny

They all wanna lose to you

She ain't pretty

But she got what it takes

Her eyes don't water

Her heart don't break

Sister don't like her

Calls her a tramp

But she's just jealous

Cause she can't get what Penny can

And she don't understand

I don't want money I don't want love

Just wanna be like Penny when I grow up

She's just like the birds on the telephone wire

If she don't like it all she gotta do is fly

And she don't say why

Oh Penny

What's it like to be so justified

She ain't pretty

But she got what it takes

Her eyes don't water

Her heart don't break

Mama don't like her

She calls her a tramp

But she's just worried

Cause she can't see what I can

And she don't understand

I don't want money I don't want love

Be like Penny when I grow up

Smoke Pall Malls and talk real tough

Drink white liquor and never get drunk

Be just like her when I grow up

Just like Penny when I grow up
