Penny Serenade

(Melle Weersma / Hall Hallifax)

Geraldo and his Orchestra

Concert arrangement; with chorus



Once I strayed ‘neath the window
Of a lovely señorita
And she smiled, while I softly played
My penny serenade

Si si si, you can hear it for a penny
Si si si, just a penny serenade

In her eyes, shone the tender dawn of love
And sweet surrender
As for me, in my heart I played a lovers’ serenade

Si si si, hear my love song for a penny
Si si si, just a penny serenade

For that night, so divine, she was mine
Though no word had been spoken
When I woke from my dreams, she was gone
And my poor heart was broken

Still I pray, that wherever she may be
She will remember
In her heart, she will always hear
My penny serenade

Si si si
That's my love song for a penny

Si si si
Just a penny serenade

Si si si, hear my love song for a penny
Si si si, just a penny serenade
Just a penny serenade
