Once I strayed 'neath the window
Of a lovely, lovely lady
And she smiled while I softly played
My penny serenade
Si si si, you can hear it for a penny
Si si si, just a penny serenade
In her eyes shone the tender dawn of love
And sweet surrender
As for me, in my heart I played a lovers' serenade
Si si si, hear my love song for a penny
Si si si, just a penny serenade
In a dream so divine, she was mine
No word had been spoken
When I woke from my dreams, she was gone
No word had been spoken
Still I pray that wherever she may be
She will remember
In her heart, she will always hear
My penny serenade
(Si si si)
Si si si
(You can hear it for a penny)
You can hear it for a penny
(Si si si}
Si si si
(Just a penny serenade)
Just a penny serenade
Just a penny serenade
