Lyrics
Verse 1
I got two pennies and a bus stop kiss
A secondhand coat and a girl like this
Friday night stars over Flatbush Avenue
Man, life sure shines when I’m next to you
The jukebox jumping at the corner bar
Everybody singing under neon stars
Tommy’s yelling, “Hey, sing one more!”
While couples slow dance across the floor
Chorus
Two pennies and a dream
That’s all we really need
A little moonlight, a radio
And somewhere we can be alone
Two pennies and a dream
Baby, you and me
Sha-na-na, don’t let go
Love’s the richest thing I know
Background Vocals
Shoo-bop shoo-bop
Yeah yeah yeah
Doo-lang doo-lang
Verse 2
Your daddy says I ain’t got much
No Cadillac or fancy stuff
But I hold your hand like crystal glass
And swear this love was built to last
We share one shake with two straws bent
Laughing like we got a million cents
Baby, when your head’s on my chest
This whole crazy world feels blessed
Chorus
Two pennies and a dream
That’s all we really need
A little old booth at the café light
Holding each other all through the night
Two pennies and a dream
Sweetest thing I’ve seen
Sha-na-na, can’t you tell?
Girl, you wear heaven well
Bridge – Spoken Over Harmony
Listen, sweetheart…
Someday maybe we’ll have the house with the little porch…
Maybe a couple kids runnin’ around…
But even if we don’t…
Long as I got your hand in mine…
I’m the luckiest cat alive…
Bridge – Sung
Ohhhh baby don’t cry
We’ll get by, you and I
Love don’t cost a diamond ring
When your heart can sing
Background Vocals
Ding dong
Ding dong
Shoo-doo-wah
Shoo-doo-wah
Final Chorus
Two pennies and a dream
Still sounds good to me
Through every storm and every year
I’ll keep your sweet heart near
Two pennies and a dream
That’s our melody
Sha-na-na forevermore
I’ll keep knocking on your door
Outro
Yeah yeah yeah…
The Starliners…
For all the kids in love tonight…
Doo-wop… doo-wop… dooooo-wop…
