Here is a penny for you, little girl, / Because the nice music came round, / I stood by the window a long long time, / And heard what the hand organ ground.
Is it your papa who grinds out the tunes? / And plays so I dance tippy toe? / Tell him I think he's a nice music man. / I don't want him ever to go.
Tell him to come back to-morrow day too, / I'd like him to come every day, / I'll take all the pennies from my little bank, / And give them to him, if he'll play.
