Penny Lane

In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs

of every head he's had the pleasure to have known.

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.

A 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.
