Five Pennies

The eponymous song from the 1959 movie The Five Pennies, we heard a snippet of it while watching a short film about women in Hollywood while at the California Museum of History, Women and the Arts. I thought it sounded nice enough to pass on. Imagine Danny Kaye singing this song to his daughter who has contracted polio:

This little penny is to wish on
And make your wishes come true
This little penny is to dream on
Dream of all you can do
This little penny is a dancing penny
See how it glitters and it glows
Bright as a whistle
Light as a thistle
Quick, quick as a wink
Up on it's twinkling toes
This little penny is to laugh on
To see that tears never fall
This this little penny
Is the last little penny
And the most important of all
For this penny is to love on
And where love is, heaven is there
So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
You'll be a millionaire
For this penny is to love on
And where love is, heaven is there
So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
You'll be a millionaire

Here's a happier part later in the movie: http://youtube.com/watch?v=j_r-Q1u6PDk
