Jenny

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
 [refrain:
 jenny made her mind up when she was three
 she herself was going to trim the christmas tree
 christmas eve she lit the candles tossed the taper away
 little jenny was an orphan on christmas day
 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
 jenny made her mind up when she was twelve
 that into foreign languages she would delve;
 but at seventeen to vassar it was quite a blow
 that in twentyseven languages she couldn't say no
 poor jenny! bright as a penny!
 her equal would be hard to find
 to jenny i'm beholden
 her heart was big and golden
 but she would make up her mind
 jenny made her mind up at twentytwo
 to get herself a husband was the thing to do
 she got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs
 and she got herself a husband but he wasn't hers
 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
 jenny made her mind up at thirtynine
 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
 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
 jenny made her mind up at fiftyone
 she would write her memoirs before she was done
 the very day her book was published hist'ry relates
 there were wives who shot their husbands in some thirtythree states
 poor jenny! bright as a penny!
 her equal would be ha
