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.

In time the Rockies may crumble,
Gibraltar may tumble,
They're only made of clay,
But our love is here to stay.

Nice work if you can get it,
And you can get it if you try.

I got rhythm,
I got music,
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?

Summertime and the livin' is easy,
Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high.
Oh yo' daddy's rich, and yo' ma is good lookin',
So hush, little baby, don' yo' cry.

You've made my life so glamorous,
You can't blame me for feeling amorous.
'S wonderful, 's marvellous
That you should care for me.
