MAGIC PENNY
(Malvina Reynolds)


Malvina Reynolds - 1949





Love is something if you give it away
Give it away, give it away
Love is something if you give it away
You'll end up having more

It's just like a magic penny
Hold it tight and you won't have any 
Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many
They'll roll all over the floor

For love is something if you give it away
Give it away, give it away
Love is something if you give it away 
You'll end up having more

Money's dandy and we like to use it
But love is better if you don't refuse it
It's a treasure and you'll never lose it
Unless you lock up your door

For love is something if you give it away
Give it away, give it away
Love is something if you give it away
You'll end up having more

So let's go dancing till the break of day
And if there's a piper, we can pay 
For love is something if you give it away
You'll end up having more

For love is something if you give it away
Give it away, give it away
Love is something if you give it away
You'll end up having more
