There once was a girl named Jenny

Whose virtues were varied and many

Excepting that she was inclined

Always to make up her mind

And Jenny points a moral

With which you cannot quarrel

As you will find

Jenny made her mind up when she was three

She herself was going to trim the Christmas tree

Christmas Eve she lit the candlestossed the taper away

Little Jenny was an orphan on Christmas Day

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny

Her equal would be hard to find

She lost one dad and mother

A sister and a brother

But she would make up her mind

Jenny made her mind up when she was twelve

That into foreign languages she would delve

But at seventeen to Vassar it was quite a blow

That in twenty-seven languages she couldn't say no

Jenny made her mind up at twenty-two

To get herself a husband was the thing to do

She got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs

And she got herself a husbandbut he wasn't hers

Jennt made her mind up at thirty-nine

She would take a trip to the Argentine

She was only on vacation but the Latins agree

Jenny was the one who started the Good Neighbour Policy

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny

Her equal would be hard to find

Oh passion doesn't vanish

In Portuguese or Spanish

But she would make up her mind

Jenny made her mind up at fifty-one

She would write her memoirs before she was done

The very day her book was published hist'ry relates

There were wives who shot their husbands in some thirty-three states

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny

Her equal would be hard to find

She could give cards and spade-ies

To many other ladies

But she would make up her mind

Jenny made her mind up at seventy-five

She would live to be the oldest woman alive

But gin and rum and destiny play funny tricks

And poor Jenny kicked the bucket at seventy-six

Jenny points a moral

With which we cannot quarrel

Makes a lot of common sense

Jenny and her saga

Prove that you are gaga

If you don't keep sitting on the fence

Jenny and her story

Point the way to glory

To all man and womankind

Anyone with vision

Comes to this decision

Don't make upYou shouldn't make up

You mustn't make upOh never make up

Anyone with vision

Comes to this decision

Don't make up your mind

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny

Her equal would be hard to find

To Jenny I'm beholden her heart was big and golden

But she would make up her mind

Poor Jenny Bright as a penny

Her equal would be hard to find

Deserved a bed of roses but history discloses

That she would make up her mind
