Penny Music Lyrics - Missing Links 3 - Monkees

Throw a penny from the window 

Watch an old man play a song 

On a twenty dollar violin 

He bought before the war 

Though he screeches and he scratches 

And the notes are always wrong 

But he plays like he's in concert 

On the street outside my door 

Tunes to suit your fancy 

Are there any requests? 

I'll play them for a penny 

(Play them penny music, play them for a penny) 

And not a penny less

He's the local virtuoso 

It's his only way of life 

Plays ninety-seven overtures 

And goes home to his wife 

In the quiet of the evening 

While his frozen fingers bleed 

He counts pennies on a blanket 

To supply his meager need 

Tunes to suit your fancy 

Are there any requests? 

I'll play them for a penny 

(Play them penny music, play them for a penny) 

And not a penny less 

When there's frost upon the pumpkin 

In the weakness of the sun 

People stand there in the cold 

Until his symphony is done

In the early gray of morning 

He's sure to come around 

You can hear him through the window 

When the pennies hit the ground 

Tunes to suit your fancy 

Are there any requests? 

I'll play them for a penny 

(Play them penny music, play them for a penny) 

And not a penny less 

They're playing penny music 

Playing penny music 

They're playing penny music 

Playing penny music 

Playing penny music
