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
