Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There, beneath the blue suburban skies, I sit
And, meanwhile, back
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies in summer
Meanwhile, back
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There, beneath the blue suburban skies, I sit
And, meanwhile, back
[Chorus]
And Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There, beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane
