FIVE PENNIES

Five Pennies

This little penny is to wish on    

And make your wishes come true. 

This little penny is to dream on, 

Dream of all you can do!

This little penny is a dancing penny 

See how it glitters and it glows 

           Bright as a whistle             

Light as a thistle

          Quick, quick as a wink            

        Up on its twinkling toes,          

This little penny is to laugh on    

To see that tears never fall!

          And this little penny               

     Is the last little penny          

     Most important of all            

For this little penny is to love on

And where love is, 

heaven is there 

       so with just five pennies,           

if they’re these five pennies   

        You’ll be a millionaire!             

For this little penny is to love on

And where love is, 

heaven is there

       So with just five pennies,          

if they’re these five pennies   

You’ll be a millionaire!

(Sung by Danny Kaye in a Movie with the same name in 1959)

FIVE PENNIES

I heard this little song over the radio this morning, and it made me think a while :

Yes we can all be millionaires if we allow ourselves to enjoy the blessings of everyday things such as

       

               Wishes,    Dreams,    Dancing,    Laughter,    Love

The lyrics are so simple – the song was sung to the main character’s little daughter at bedtime every night, and imagine what dreams she dreamt because these were the last words she heard before falling asleep!

We don’t have bedtime songs sung to us, but we can become as little children and believe that the FIVE  LITTLE  PENNIES  can make us millionaires!
