Penny Foolish

from Solo Singles by Geverend Dee

/

lyrics

I can't buy you the house or the car of your dreams
Our love may be endless but not our wallets so it seems
But a night at the theater? We'll spare no expense
'Cause it's pay what you can night and we've got 27 cents
Tonight's dinner-- homemade nachos with the just expired cheese
We'll be dining al fresco, as our faces feel the breeze
on the golf course we snuck onto after hours. What the heck!
Just for today, 'cause tomorrow we'll get our billion dollar check


Until then we'll have to be
Pound wise (pound wise)
And Penny Foolish
Pound wise (pound wise)
And Penny Foolish
Pound wise (pound wise)
And Penny Foolish
(penny foolish)

When that billion dollar check comes you'll get everything you want
Travel the world, five star hotels, and the finest restaurants
Make love on Polynesian beaches, under a canopy with ruffles
Made of silk. Drink Cheval Blanc, eat gold and saffron covered truffles
Jet set back just in time for an audience with the Queen
On the wrap-around porch of our mansion in the green
exotic countryside of our fifty acre lakeside estate
Except now we're broke, so we'll have to plan a slightly cheaper date

Until then we'll have to be
Pound wise (pound wise)
And Penny Foolish
Pound wise (pound wise)
And Penny Foolish
Pound wise (pound wise)
And Penny Foolish
(penny foolish)

I can't promise you the world as a means to your seduction
But I'll try to make do with a smaller reproduction
When the billion dollar check comes, the world is yours in its totality
But until that day arrives, you've got my sunny personality
We'll scrimp and we'll save every penny that we find
While we feast on instant ramen and the finest box of wine
Which we'll relish in the moonlight one more night before we trek
Down to our mailbox to look for our Billion dollar check

Until then we'll have to be
Pound wise (pound wise)
And Penny Foolish
Pound wise (pound wise)
And Penny Foolish
Pound wise (pound wise)
And Penny Foolish
(penny foolish)

Penny Foolish
Penny Foolish
Penny Foolish
