The Beatles - Penny Lane

Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the wonderful Beatles song Penny Lane in honor of the fact that on March 18, 1967, the Beatles scored their 13th US No.1 single with 'Penny Lane / Strawberry Fields Forever'. Many bands in those days were thankful for having one side of a 45 RPM record hitting in the top ten. The Beatles often had both the A and B side as top ten songs.

Penny Lane written by John Winston Lennon and Paul James McCartney
Lyrics
"In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
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
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway
In 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"
