Ivan Moody – A Penny For A Tale lyrics

Let me tell you
A tale for a penny
One that you can not hear
Anywhere else
Not anywhere else
I heard from a birdy
It doesn't end purdy
It doesn't end well
No it never ends well

Let me spin you
A yarn for a cent
Lord, would it not be
A sin for you to deny
Yourselves a tale?
A penny, a penny
A penny for an old
Beggar-Man's story, a story
A penny for a tale

There once was a doggy
(woof woof woof)
She pranced in the Moon
With a mouthful of shiny
Red pennies
She lept and she wagged
So proud of her shiny
Red pennies
Yipping with glee

She trotted by the river
(trot trot trot)
And oh, bless my Soul
She saw her reflection
In water
A pup with a jaw
Full of shiny red pennies
In water

She trotted as she plotted
To pirate these pennies
Oh, how they teased

Lord, Lord
That greed, it'll kill you
Lord, Lord
Go on pass the hat
Will you?
Your purse strings are tight
Bleed for a sinner
I just need
A few pennies more
A few pennies more!

But greedy, so greedy
(me me me)
She snarled and swiped
As she struck at the mud
In the water
A foolish pooch loots
From herself in the water
Her reflection struck back

Lord
I want to go on
With the song
But don't make it bring up
What she did to that pup
That cute little pup
I just might well up
But I'll continue
My rhyme for a dime
Or a penny is fine
These are difficult times
Yes, difficult times
Thank you, Sir
You're too kind

Lord, Lord
That greed, it'll kill you
Lord, Lord
Go on, pass the hat
Will ya?
Your purse strings are tight
Bleed for a sinner
I just need
A few pennies more!
A few pennies more!

Lord, Lord
That greed, it'll kill you
Lord, Lord
Go on
Pass the hat
Will ya?
Your purse strings are tight
Bleed for a sinner
I just need
A few pennies more
A few pennies more

And so did our doggie
(bark bark bark)
She'd kill for a bite
Of those shiny
Red pennies
She left and she barked
At the dog in the water
But her pennies
Her pennies
They dropped down, down
And after them
The shot
Down, down
Down in the waters
Below!

God rest her Soul !
