Danny Kaye as Red Nichols singing "Five Pennies" to his daughter Dorothy (Susan Gordon) in the movie The Five Pennies (1959)
LYRICS:
This little penny is to wish on
And make your wishes come true
This little penny is to dream on
And dream of all you can do
This little penny is a dancing penny
See how it glitters and it glows
As bright as a whistle
Light as a thistle
Quick, quick as a wink
Up on it's twinkling toes
This little penny is to laugh on
To see that tears never fall
This this little penny
Is the last little penny
And most important of all
For this penny is to love on
And where love is, heaven is there
So with just five pennies, if they're these five pennies
You'll be a millionaire
