and His Royal Canadians



Once I strayed 'neath the window of a lovely se�orita

And she smiled while I softly played my Penny Serenade



Si, si, si, you can hear it for a penny

Si, si, si, just a Penny Serenade



In her eyes shone the tender dawn of love and sweet surrender

As for me, in my heart I played a lover's serenade



Si, si, si, hear my love song for a penny

Si, si, si, just a Penny Serenade



For that night so divine she was mine, no word had been spoken

When I woke from my dream she was gone, my poor heart was broken



Still I pray that wherever she may be she will remember

In her heart she will always hear my Penny Serenade



Si, si, si, hear my love song for a penny

Si, si, si, just a Penny Serenade
