lirik lagu rufus wainwright - the saga of jenny
[intro]
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
[chorus: ensemble]
who’s jenny?
never heard of jenny!
jenny is out of place!
[chorus: rufus wainwright]
but i am sure the court’ll
find jenny is immortal
and has a bearing on this case!
[verse 1]
well, for instance
jenny made her mind up when she was three
she herself was going to trim the christmas tree
christmas eve she lit thе candles, tossed the tapеrs away
little jenny was an orphan on christmas day
[chorus: rufus wainwright]
poor jenny! bright as a penny!
her equal would be hard to find
she lost one dad and mother
a sister and a brother
but she would make up her mind
[verse 2]
jenny made her mind up at twenty~two
to get herself a husband was the thing to do
so she got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs
she got herself a husband, but he wasn’t hers
[chorus: rufus wainwright]
poor jenny! bright as a penny!
her equal would be hard to find
deserved a bed of roses
but history discloses
that she would make up her mind
[verse 3]
jenny made her mind up at thirty~nine
she would take a trip to the argentine
she was only on vacation, but the latins agree
jenny was the one who started the good neighbor policy
[chorus: rufus wainwright]
poor jenny! bright as a penny!
her equal would be hard to find
oh, passion doesn’t vanish
in portuguese or spanish
but she would make up her mind
[verse 4]
jenny made her mind up at seventy~five
she would get to be the oldest woman alive
but gin and rum and destiny play funny tricks
and poor jenny kicked the bucket at seventy~six
[chorus: rufus wainwright]
jenny points a moral
with which you cannot quarrel
makes a lot of common sense
jenny and her saga
prove that you are gaga
if you don’t keep sitting on the fence
[outro]
jenny and her story
point the way to glory
to all man~ and womankind
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
anyone with vision
comes to this decision
don’t
make
up
your
mind!
