Capo 2nd fret
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 motor car.
The 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.
[horn solo]
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
For a fish and finger pie,
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.
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!
