PENELOPE LYRICS

Written by: Zach Lupetin, Liz Beebe, Daniel Mark, Connor Vance, Ulf Bjorlin, Josh Heffernan, Matt Rubin

Oooh hiding

under the bleachers 

waiting for the blue stars 

to come out 

Ooh ignoring all the teachers 

green grass eyes 

always met mine across the crowd

Oh how could I know how good I had it

She told me everything 

about her favorite animal

the saber tooth tiger 

her main man BB King 

Ooh she gave

my first kiss  

In an old canoe underneath 

that harvest moon 

Ooh (5)

I hope we never get older 

We both knew that it was coming soon 

Ch2

Oh come and dance with me

my Penelope   

She just turned away  

I would wait for you 

Oh you know it's true 

Till my dying day

Ooh x3

(Instrumental Break)

Ooh driving ‘round 

in my Datsun 

pretending those high beams 

were an alien ship 

Ooh I watch her dance 

in the hot sun

showing off on the high dive

with my backflip 

Ch1

Oh how could I know how good I had it

She told me everything 

about her favorite animal

the saber tooth tiger 

her main man BB King 

Bridge

When I saw her cross the room

in in that purple dress 

Well I knew, it was all over

You can't fight against a feeling

you can't defend 

I wish I could go over there

and just tell her 

she would laugh 

honey, we're only friends 

Chorus 1

Oh how could I know how good I had it

She told me everything 

about her favorite animal

the saber tooth tiger 

her main man BB King 

Ooh x3

(Instrumental)
