penny lane there is a

barber showing photographs

of every head he's had

the pleasure to know

and all the people that come and go

stop and say hello

on the corner is a

banker with a motorcar

and little children laugh

at him behind his back

and the banker never wears a mac

in the pouring rain very strange

penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes

there beneath the blue suburban skies

i sit and meanwhile back

in penny lane there is a

fireman with an hourglass

and in his pocket is a

portrait of the queen

he likes to keep his fire engine clean

it's a clean machine

penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes

four of fish and finger pies

in summer meanwhile back

behind the shelter in the

middle of the roundabout

the pretty nurse is selling

poppies from a tray

and though she feels

as if she's in a play

she is anyway

in penny lane the barber

shaves another customer

we see the banker sitting

waiting for a trim

and then the fireman rushes in

from the pouring rain very strange

penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes

there beneath the blue suburban skies

i sit and meanwhile back

penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes

there beneath the blue suburban skies

penny lane
