歌词
There once was a girl named Jenny
Whose virtues were varied and many
Excepting that she was inclined
Always to make up her mind
And Jenny points a moral
With which you cannot quarrel
As you will find
Who's Jenny?
Never heard of Jenny!
Jenny is out of place!
But I am sure the court'll
Find Jenny is immortal
And has a bearing on this case!
As for instance?
Well, for instance—
Jenny made her mind up when she was three
She herself was going to trim the Christmas tree
Christmas Eve she lit the candles, tossed the taper away
Little Jenny was an orphan on Christmas Day
Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find
She lost one dad and mother
Her sister and a brother
But she would make up her mind
She was an orphan on Christmas Day
Jenny made her mind up when she was twelve
That into foreign languages she would delve
But at seventeen to Vassar it was quite a blow
That in twenty-seven languages she couldn't say no
Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find
To Jenny I'm beholden
Her heart was big and golden
But she would make up her mind
In twenty-seven languages she couldn't say no
Jenny made her mind up at twenty-two
To get herself a husband was the thing to do
She got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs
And she got herself a husband, oh, but he wasn't hers
Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find
Deserved a bed of roses
But history discloses
That she would make up her mind
She got a husband, but he wasn't hers
Jenny made her mind up at thirty-nine
She would take a trip to the Argentine
She was only on vacation, but the Latins agree
Jenny was the one who started the Good Neighbor Policy
Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find
Oh, passion doesn't vanish
In Portuguese or Spanish
But she would make up her mind
She instituted the Good Neighbor Policy
Jenny made her mind up at fifty-one
She would write her memoirs before she was done
The very day her book was published, history relates
There were wives who shot their husbands in some thirty-three states
Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
Her equal would be hard to find
She could give cards and spadies
To many other ladies
But she would make up her mind
There were wives who shot their husbands in some thirty-three states
Jenny made her mind up at seventy-five
She would live to be the oldest woman alive
But gin and rum and destiny play funny tricks
And poor Jenny kicked the bucket at seventy-six
Jenny points a moral
With which you cannot quarrel
Makes a lot of common sense
Jenny and her saga
Prove that you are gaga
If you don't keep sitting on the fence
Jenny and her story
Point the way to glory
To all man- and womankind
Anyone with vision
Comes to this decision
Don't make up
You shouldn't make up
You mustn't make up
Oh, never make up
Anyone with vision
Comes to this decision
Don't
Don't
Make

A most excellent defense, Miss Elliott. May I ask what you have there?
Why, the circus cover.
May I see it?
Of course.
Thank you. Gentlemen, look at this.
Hmm, hmm
No, no! Don't, don't! Don't sing that!
See? You're afraid. You're hiding something. You're afraid of that music, aren't you? Just as you're afraid to compete as a woman. Afraid to marry Kendall Nesbitt. Afraid to be the woman you want to be. Afraid! Afraid! Afraid! Afraid!
Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha
(spoken)
Make up your mind! Make up your mind!
Make up your mind! Make up your mind!
Make up your mind! Make up your mind!
Make up your mind! Make up your mind!
Make up your mind! Make up your mind!
