The Saga of Jenny - Howard Keel
There once was a girl named Jenny

Whose virtues were varied and many

Excepting that she was inclined
Always to make up her mind

And Jenny points a moral
With which you cannot quarrel

As you will find

Jenny made her mind up when she was three
She herself was going to trim the Christmas tree
Christmas Eve she lit the candlestossed the taper away
Little Jenny was an orphan on Christmas Day
Poor Jenny Bright as a penny
Her equal would be hard to find

She lost one dad and mother
A sister and a brother

But she would make up her mind

Jenny made her mind up when she was twelve
That into foreign languages she would delve
But at seventeen to Vassar it was quite a blow
That in twentyseven languages she couldn't say no

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny
Her equal would be hard to find

To Jenny I'm beholden her heart was big and golden
But she would make up her mind

Jenny made her mind up but twentytwo

To get herself a husband was the thing to do
She got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs

And she got herself a husband but he wasn't hers

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny
Her equal would be hard to find
There did better rather but it's really closer
But she would make up her mind

Jennt made her mind up at thirtynine

She would take a trip to the Argentine
She was only on vacation but the Latins agree
Jenny was the one who started the Good Neighbour Policy

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny
Her equal would be hard to find
Oh passion doesn't vanish
In Portuguese or Spanish
But she would make up her mind

Jenny made her mind up at fiftyone

She would write her memoirs before she was done

The very day her book was published hist'ry relates
There were wives who shot their husbands in some thirtythree states

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny
Her equal would be hard to find
She could give cards and spadeies
To many other ladies

But she would make up her mind

Jenny made her mind up at seventyfive
She would live to be the oldest woman alive
But gin and rum and destiny play funny tricks
And poor Jenny kicked the bucket at seventysix

Jenny points a moral
With which we cannot quarrel

Makes a lot of common sense

Jenny and her saga
Prove that you are gaga
If you don't keep sitting on the fence
Jenny and her story
Point the way to glory
To all man and womankind

Anyone with vision
Comes to this decision
Don't make up You shouldn't make up
You mustn't make up Oh never make up
Anyone with vision
Comes to this decision

Don't make up your mind
