lyrics

All the boys on the corner just standin’ round
say here comes Penny in her ’88 Royale
What’s she doing now?
She’s the queen of their hearts she’s the talk of the town
she’s got rattle snake boots, don’t let nothing slow her down
or turn her around
Oh, Penny don’t let no one turn her down
She don’t sugar coat it, she don’t tell lies
she gets what she wants, all she gotta do is smile
and they all get in line
She turns the fools into saints, the saints into fools
she can shoot her whiskey, plays a real mean game of pool
All the boys get schooled
Oh, Penny, they all wanna lose to you
She ain’t pretty but she got what it takes
Her eyes don’t water, her heart don’t break
Sister don’t like her, calls her a tramp
but she’s just jealous cause she can’t get what Penny can
and she don’t understand
I don’t want money I don’t want love
just wanna be like Penny when I grow up
She’s just like the birds on the telephone wire
if she don’t like it all she gotta do is fly
and she don’t say why
Oh, Penny, what’s it like to be so justified?
She ain’t pretty but she got what it takes
her eyes don’t water, her heart don’t break
Mama don’t like her, she calls her a tramp
but she’s just worried cause she can’t see what I can
and she don’t understand
I don’t want money I don’t want love
Just wanna be like Penny when I grow up
smoke Pall Malls and talk real tough
drink white liquor and never get drunk
be just like her when I grow up
Just like Penny when I grow up
