Jenny's in the Lake
Jenny's in the Lake
she cast herself down there
from high atop the Narrow's Bridge,
wild with despair
she cast herself down there
from high atop the Narrow's Bridge,
wild with despair
They say she came a cropper
an' she drowned herself quite proper
an' now ye wouldn't pay a copper
penny
to be per little Jenny
Per, Per,
little Jenny
One hundred thousand Chinese dollars
ain't too much to borrow.
No need to run out in the snow,
No need to run out in the snow,
wringing alabaster hands.
Just call *Lordy, on the morrow.
Defer from his demands.
So please come home now Jenny,
You haven't had your cake you know.
There's a score and six of candles,
along with one to grow.
Jenny! Jenny!
Jenny! Jen!
I've brought your knitted shawl!
I've brought your knitted shawl!
Jenny! Jenny!
Jenny!
Can't you hear us call?
Jenny pierced the ice
with momentum and great force you see,
and when she hit the deck,
it split her like a pea
form crotch to neck.
But Jenny's little heart,
so sad and brave,
it kept on pulsing
until the freezing water
beckoned it
to stop convulsing.
Jenny! Jenny!
Jenny's in the Lake
so deep she won't be found
but at least to Sallie Mae,
Jen's no longer bound.
Jenny!
