Three Penny Opera
Three Penny Opera
A penny for your thoughts she said
And paid-up cash, right on the spot
I think I love you was my reply
Do you have another penny or are you
Planning to get my thoughts for free?
She drew me close, pressing her softness
Against a man now empty of rational thought
And I wondered if I should give her change
Another penny appeared in my hand
Just as my lips reached out to kiss hers
I like the way you think, She said
As yet another penny found my palm
I think I’ll leave you to imagine the rest
Of this threepenny opera for yourself
I have more pressing business to attend to…
