Verse 1

I saw a penny through the window,

Rolling circles on the floor,

It sang a tune I didn’t know,

But I wanted to hear more.

The sun was dancing in my tea cup,

Whistling round the porcelain rim,

I swear the chairs began to stand up,

And the wallpaper joined in.

Chorus

Oh la-la, the world’s a funny place to be,

Oh la-la, it’s singing back at you and me,

Every little thing’s a friend I’ve yet to know,

Penny through the window—where will you go?

Verse 2

I shook hands with a paper daisy,

Told it all about my day,

It laughed and said, “Sometimes you’re crazy,

But I like you anyway.”

The clock ticked softly in the corner,

Just enough to make me sway,

I bent my ear toward the morning,

And heard it softly say—

Chorus

Oh la-la, the world’s a funny place to be,

Oh la-la, it’s singing back at you and me,

Every little thing’s a friend I’ve yet to know,

Penny through the window—where will you go?

Bridge

If you follow the tune, you might find,

It’s written in the corners of your mind,

Take the time, take it slow,

There’s a penny through the window,

And it’s waiting for you to say hello…

Chorus (repeat)

Oh la-la, the world’s a funny place to be,

Oh la-la, it’s singing back at you and me,

Every little thing’s a friend I’ve yet to know,

Penny through the window—where will you go?
