Jenna Saves by David Ackles Lyrics
When Jenna Pearl was ten
Her daddy told her never again never again, never again
Will Jenna want for anything
Uncle George died and left her, left her his brass ring
'Now you can make the neighbors play the fool
Even send yourself to boarding school
Buy a chauffeur-driven limousine
But don't forget your daddy's queen.'
But Jenna Pearl was no one's girl, she knew even then
She said, 'How nice, but your advice, I'll never need again
But you can call me anytime, here's a dime.'
When Jenna Pearl was grown
Guido found her living alone, living alone, living alone
He said ignore my threadbare clothes
I'm a man and what I can give, what I can give, a woman knows
I can give you love and love again
A husband with the strength of ten
You wanna buy a car and clothes for me
'Cause what you get is what you see
But Jenna Pearl was no one's girl, she understood the score
She said, 'Poor thing, we live in sin, all love and nothing more.'
She said, 'You don't like that? Well here's your hat.'
When Jenna Pearl was old, her favorite friends were
Buckets of gold, barrels of gold, all of her gold
Her doctor told her, 'You won't last
And everyone goes, and everyone knows you're going fast
Why don't you give it all to charity
Except a little bag for me
You'll never live to spend it anyway
So don't forget the AMA
But Jenna Pearl was a mean old girl, she kept her golden h***d
Then on the day she died she often cried, 'I leave it to the lord,'
And now she rides a golden horse in Hell of course
Her daddy told her never again never again, never again
Will Jenna want for anything
Uncle George died and left her, left her his brass ring
'Now you can make the neighbors play the fool
Even send yourself to boarding school
Buy a chauffeur-driven limousine
But don't forget your daddy's queen.'
But Jenna Pearl was no one's girl, she knew even then
She said, 'How nice, but your advice, I'll never need again
But you can call me anytime, here's a dime.'
When Jenna Pearl was grown
Guido found her living alone, living alone, living alone
He said ignore my threadbare clothes
I'm a man and what I can give, what I can give, a woman knows
