Reckless Penny Dreadful
On the posy in your boutonniere
A face is aptly shining
But we both well know it isn't there
Penny, Penny Dreadful
Lest you think it isn't fair
Lest you think it isn't fair
Wretched Penny Dreadful
On the very day that you were born
A giant caught the rickets
And the angel army left in scorn
Penny, Penny Dreadful
Now's an awful time to mourn
Or the perfect time to mourn
Tactless Penny Dreadful
Like a plague you carried on and on
Your fellows don't complain
Since now the white man's burden's finally gone
Penny, Penny Dreaful
There's a reason you were wrong
There's a reason you were wrong
Wicked Penny Dreadful
Spreads its fear and leaves the world a-mend
But then it goes away
Though we can say we'll see its face again
Penny, Penny Dreadful
Not a shame you had to end
It was a violent, bitter end
