Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hello, mornin'

Now when does the fun begin?

Goodbye, mornin'

Sorry it had to end

But see, I cried just a little too long

Now it's time for me to be strong

[Verse 2]

Hello, mornin'

I sure missed you last night

Goodbye, mornin'

You just won't do me right

I stayed just a little too long

And now it's time for me to move on

[Verse 3]

They say I'm hopeless

As a penny with a hole in it

(Penny with a, penny with a hole in it, yeah, yeah, yeah)

They say I'm no less

(No less, no less, no less, no less)

Than up to my head in it

[Verse 4]

Ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba

Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba

Hey, yeah, yeah

[Verse 5]

Hello, yesterday

I sure need you now

Goodbye, yesterday

I just can't stay around

You see, I cried just a little too long

Now it's time for me to be strong

[Verse 6]

Hello, yesterday

Remember how it used to be?

Goodbye, yesterday

I can't take you with me

No, no, no, I can't

You see, I stayed just a little too long

And now it's time for me to move on

[Verse 7]

They say I'm hopeless

(Hopeless, hopeless, yeah)

As a penny with a hole in it

(Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh)

They say I'm no less

(No less, no less, no less, no less, no less)

Than up to my head in it

[Verse 8]

(Oh, yeah, yeah, they say I'm Hopeless)

They say I'm Hopeless

(Hopeless, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

As a penny with a hole in it

(Penny, penny, penny with a hole in it, hole in it, yeah)

They say I'm no less

(No less, no less, no less, no less)

Than up to my head in it

(Hmm)

[Verse 9]

Ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba

Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba

Hey
