PENNIES FROM HEAVEN ?

and old song by sinatra
issued from my radio
i started singing with him
and began to tap my toe

he mentioned it was pennies
that were pouring on the ground
and you could make a fortune
if you took a look around

they made them up in heaven
tossed them from the pearly gates
fashioned from some copper mines
where minting emanates

i used to hear that pennies
dropping from the empire state
could cause a mean concussion
if they landed on your pate

but pennies dropped from heaven ?
they could kill you where you stood
just like a little meteor
that doesn't sound too good

but over there in england
it's more dangerous, it sounds
for it's not raining pennies, there
i hear it's raining pounds
