Chords

[Intro] G D D D G [Verse 1]
          G
There's a little girl lives on our street

                      D
She's awful sweet and pretty

    D
The boys stand on their heads for her

                           G
But she thinks they're all silly

G
She's got freckles on her nose

                      C
Her hair is light and sandy

                 Em
Penelope Candace is her name

       A        D     G
But we call her Penny Candy
[Verse 2]
G
She doesn't know what a nickel is

                     D
She's got no use for dollars

        D
There's always a penny in her hand

                      G
And a licorice on her collar

G
She's the sweetest girl in town

                              C
The little boys think she's a dandy

                            G
But the monkey shines don't bother her

            A      D     G
While she's eating Penny Candy
[Chorus]
                C               G
Penny Candy she eats that messy kind

                D7              G
Penny Candy she eats it all the time
[Solo] | G | G | G | D | | D | D | D | G | [Verse 3]
    G
She brightens up the neighborhood

                          D
Her little face is always glowing

    D
And when she's in a hurry

                          G
We all know where she's a going

     G
It's to the little corner store

                       C
That's awful close and handy

                    G
Then once again her happy face

   A          D     G
Is black with Penny Candy
[Chorus]
                C               G
Penny Candy she eats that messy kind

                D7              G
Penny Candy she eats it all the time
[Solo] | G | G | G | D | | D | D | D | G | [Verse 4]
      G
She's always got a smile for you

                        D
If you should ever meet her

D
And with Candy on her face

                      G
Her smile is a little sweeter

G
Penelope Candace is her name

                            C
And she likes that fine and dandy

                           Em
But if you want to see her dimples show

     A        D     G
Just call her Penny Candy
[Chorus]
                C               G
Penny Candy she eats that messy kind

                D7              G    G
Penny Candy she eats it all the time
