Once I strayed 'Neath the window of a lovely senorita 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 lover's serenade Si, si, si Hear my love song for a penny Si, si, si Just a penny serenade For that night so divine she was mine No word had been spoken When I woke from my dream she was gone My poor heart was broken Still I pray That wherever she may be she will remember In her heart She will always hear my penny serenade Si, si, si Hear my love song for a penny Si, si, si Just a penny serenade
