[Verse 1]
There [F#m]once[Em][D][Em][Am][F#m]
[E]was[F#m] a gir[D]l named
Jenny, whose [Daug]vir tues were
[D]varied and [E]many,
[A]accepting that she was in[Em]clined,
[A]al [D]ways to [Ebdim]make up h[E]er mind.[Em]
[D]And
Jenny points a moral,
with which [F#]you cannot quarrel,
as [E]you will find.
[Am]Jenny made her mind up when
[G#]she was three.
[Cdim]She herself wa[Am]s
going to trim the
[Dm]Christmas tree.
[F]Christmas
[Am]Eve she lit the candles,
tossed the [F]taper away.
Little
Jenny [Dm]was an orphan on
[Am]Christ[E]mas
[Am]Day.
Poor
Jenny, [F]bright as a penny,
a [F#m]ripple would be [Bbdim]hard to find.[E]
Oh, she [F#m]lost one [Am]dad and m[E]other, a[Dm] sister and a broth[C]er,
[Am]but she wouldn't make [E]up [Am]her mind.
Jenny was an orphan on
[B]Christmas
Day.
[E]Jenny made her[Am] mind up when she [G#]was twelve,
that [Am]in two foreign languages she wo[Dm]uld del.
[F]But at [Am]seventeen to
Vassar it was [F]quite a blow,
that in twenty [Am]-seven [Dm]lan guages s[E]he couldn't say no.
[Am]Oh,
Jenny, [F]right as a penny
A reaper [Am]would be [Bbdim]hard to f[E]ind
To
[D]Jenny I'm [F#dim]be holden[Em]
Her [Dm]heart was big and golden
[Am]But she [E]would make up her [Am]mind
In twenty -seven languages
she [B]couldn't say no
[E]Jenny [Am]made her mind up at [G#]thirty -two
[Ebdim]To get he[A]rself a[Am] husband
[E]was the [Dm]thing to do
So [F]she [Am]got herself all dolled
up in her [F]satins [Fm]and furs
An[F]d she [Am]got herself a husband,
but he wasn't [E]her[A]s
Poor
[Am]Jenny, brigh[F]t as a penny
Her [F#m]equal would be [Bbdim]hard to f[E]ind
Could have [F#dim]had a bed of ros[Em]es
But [Dm]history discloses [Am]that she
[B]would make [E]up her mind
[Am]She got herself a husband,
but [B]he wasn't hers
[E]Jenny [Am]made her mind up [Cdim]at 75
She [Am]would live to be the
oldest [Dm]woman alive
[F]But [Am]gin and rum and destiny
played [F]the honey tricks
And
[F#dim]Jenny kicked the buc[Am]ket at 76[E]
[B]Jenny points a morrow with
[D]which you cannot quarrel
Makes [A]a lot of
[E#m]Collins [E]sad
[A]Jen[D]ny and her sag[Cdim]a prove[D#dim]
[Am]that [E]you are [F#]gaga
[Bm]If you keep sitting on t[E#dim]he fence
[E]Jen[B]ny and the story
Point [D]the way to glory
[E]To a [E#]man and [C#]woman [E]kind[Em]
[A]Anyone[D] with vis[D#dim]ion
[Cdim]Comes to[Am] thi[E]s decis[F#]ion
[Bm]Don't make up, you [A]shouldn't make up
You [D]mustn't make [Bm]up or
nev[E]er make up
Anyone [B]with vision
Comes [Bm]to t[D]his decision
Don't make up
[E]Yah
