	作词 : Gershwin, Weill
	There once was a girl named Jenny
	Whose virtues were varied and many?
	Excepting that she was inclined
	Always to make up her mind;
	And Jenny points a moral
	With which you cannot quarrel?
	As you will find.

	Jenny made her mind up when she was three
	She, herself, was going to trim the Christmas tree.
	Christmas Eve she lit the candles?tossed the taper away.
	Little Jenny was an orphan on Christmas Day.

	Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
	Her equal would be hard to find.
	She lost one dad and mother,
	A sister and a brother?
	But she would make up her mind.

	Jenny made her mind up when she was twelve
	That into foreign languages she would delve;
	But at seventeen to Vassar it was quite a blow
	That in twenty-seven languages she couldn't say no.

	Jenny made her mind up at twenty-two
	To get herself a husband was the thing to do.
	She got herself all dolled up in her satins and furs
	And she got herself a husband?but he wasn't hers.

	Jennt made her mind up at thirty-nine
	She would take a trip to the Argentine.
	She was only on vacation but the Latins agree
	Jenny was the one who started the Good Neighbour Policy.

	Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
	Her equal would be hard to find.
	Oh, passion doesn't vanish
	In Portuguese or Spanish?
	But she would make up her mind.

	Jenny made her mind up at fifty-one
	She would write her memoirs before she was done.
	The very day her book was published, hist'ry relates
	There were wives who shot their husbands in some thirty-three states.

	Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
	Her equal would be hard to find.
	She could give cards and spade-ies
	To many other ladies?
	But she would make up her mind.

	Jenny made her mind up at seventy-five
	She would live to be the oldest woman alive.
	But gin and rum and destiny play funny tricks,
	And poor Jenny kicked the bucket at seventy-six.

	Jenny points a moral
	With which we cannot quarrel.
	Makes a lot of common sense!

	Jenny and her saga
	Prove that you are gaga
	If you don't keep sitting on the fence.

	Jenny and her story
	Point the way to glory
	To all man and womankind.

	Anyone with vision
	Comes to this decision:
	Don't make up?You shouldn't make up?
	You mustn't make up?Oh, never make up?
	Anyone with vision
	Comes to this decision?
	Don't make up your mind!

	[Alternative refrains]

	Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
	Her equal would be hard to find.
	To Jenny I'm beholden, her heart was big and golden?
	But she would make up her mind.

	Poor Jenny! Bright as a penny!
	Her equal would be hard to find.
	Deserved a bed of roses, but history discloses
	That she would make up her mind.
