Penny In The Fountain
© 2009 Greg Swartzentruber

The girls said I was ugly and had no redeeming traits
I don’t remember ever having any second dates
So I got into poetry and read some real fat books
Got lipo and hair replacement to improve my woeful looks

Then I appealed to fortune to help me climb that mountain

I threw a penny in the fountain
And said a little prayer
Wished I’d find a true love
About whom I could care
I longed to share my soul
Before it withered up and died
So I threw my penny in the fountain
And made a wish inside

Just then I heard a voice say “I’m Penelope”
Wow that sure worked fast, I guess this was meant to be
We went out for coffee and talked the whole day long
Soon we were a couple, and the feeling grew so strong

I knew the time had come cuz my soul was damn near shoutin’

I threw a penny in the fountain
And said a little prayer
Wished she’d be my true love
About whom I could care
I longed to share my soul
Before it withered up and died
So I threw my penny in the fountain
And made a wish inside

I bought a diamond ring that I barely could afford
Planned to put it on the hand of the woman I adored
Driving home I passed the place where she and I first met
Penelope was with some guy rubbing on his bald head

B~
Penny hadn’t seen me so I found a place to park
I snuck up behind them and I did something rather dark

The third time was the charm, just in case you’re countin’

I threw my Penny in the fountain
Tossed her in right there
I knew that she can't swim
But I didn't even care
I yearned to share my soul
But Penny ripped my insides out
So I threw my Penny in the fountain
And I sure hope she drowned

Yeah my Penny’s in the fountain now
And I hope that she drowned
