A penny can't afford a brownie. Though the baker laughs,
On the corner stands the bakery, "The Brownie Bar,"
Penny can't believe how years have changed their size
A penny can't give you a brownie from the serving glass.
(Instrumental Break)
Penny can't believe how years have changed the size
The heat is sweltering after the sun has come about.
A penny can't start up a barter as a customer.
Penny can't believe...
you can instead insist a bite on the go.
And all the brownies we've come to know,
as the children grow.
where many children often come in for a snack.
The afternoon is when they're going back
to their home again -- any age.
of brownies right before her very eyes.
What twit decided that?
But if your pocket holds the accurate fee,
another brownie could be yours for free,
any one of these.
of her brownie appetite
she's had for years gone back.
The brownies aren't as fresh as earlier today.
And though the people come in anyway,
they get thrown away.
We see the baker and his patience running thin,
and, as if casually, he gives a grin
and tries to restrain -- pent up rage.
...decided that?
Penny can't believe...
...her very eyes.
It's a shame.
