[Verse 1]
[A]The[D]re [G]onc[Em]e was[A]
a girl [G]named [D]Jenny[G]
[Em]Whose virt[A]ues were varie[G]d
and [D]many[G][Em]
Excepting that [A]she was in[C]clined[D]
[Em]always [B]to [Em]make up her [C]mind.[D]
[A]An d Jenny points a moral
[G]with [D]which you can[G]not quarrel
[D]as [A]you[Em] wil[B]l find
[F#dim]Jenny mad[B]e h[Em]er mind
up when [C]she was 12
that [Em]into foreign languages
[C]she would delve
but [Em]at 17 to Vassar it [C]was quite a blow
that in [Em]27 langu[C]ages she
couldn't [Em]say no
Poor Jenny, [C]bright as a penny
Her [Em]equal would [G]be [B]hard to find
De[Em]served a bed of [Bm]roses
[B]But history [F]dis[Em]closes that she [B]would
make up her [Em]mind[F#dim]
[B]Jenny mad[Em]e her mind up [C]when she was 22
To [Em]get herself a husband
was [C]the thing to do
She [Em]got herself all dressed up
in [C]her satins and furs
Little Jenny [Em]got a husband
[C]but he was[Em]n't hers
Poor Jenny, [C]bright as [Em]a penny,
[C]her equ[Em]al would be hard to fin[F]d[B]
[Em]Deserved a bed of roses,
[Bm]but [F]history disc[Em]loses that she would make
[B]up her [Em]mind[F#dim][B][F#dim][B][Em]
[B]
[Em]Jenny made her mind
up when [C]she was 75,
that [Em]she would live to be the oldest [C]wo man
alive. But [Em]gin and rum and destiny,
they [C]play funny tricks.
Little Jenny [Em]kicked the bucket at [Em]76.[B]
[Em]Poor [C]Jenny, bright as a penny,
her [Em]equal would be hard to find[B].
De[Em]served a bed of roses,
[B]but history dis[F]clo[Em]ses that
she [B]would[F#dim]
[B]Make up her [Em]mind![C#dim]
[C][Em]
