[Verse 1]
C
Penelope Halfpenny sat
on the desk
C
Then stretched and grinned
G
She cracked her spine
G
And so we sinned
Am F
While Ruth in red and Beckett
in blue
Am F
Into the confessional flew
Dm G
And in that box, unlocked
their dreams
Dm G
While lovers ran hands on nylon
Bb
Penelope, Penelope,
Penelope Halfpennyy
