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

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

four of fish and finger pies
in summer meanwhile back

behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
a pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
and though she feels as if she’s in a play

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
