James Travis "Jim" Reeves (August 20, 1923 – July 31, 1964) was an American country and popular music singer-songwriter. With records charting from the 1950s to the 1980s, he became well known as a practitioner of the Nashville sound (a mixture of older country-style music with elements of popular music). Known as "Gentleman Jim", his songs continued to chart for years after his death. Reeves died at age 40 in the crash of a private airplane. He is a member of both the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame. more »

There's a little girl lives on our street 
She's awful sweet and pretty
The boys stand on their heads for her 
But she thinks they're all silly
She's got freckles on her nose 
Her hair is light and sandy
Penelope Candance is her name 
But we call her Penny Candy

She doesn't know what a nickel is 
She's got no use for dollars
There's always a penny in her hand 
And a licorice on her collar
She's the sweetest girl in town 
The little boys think she's a dandy
But the monkey shines don't bother her 
While she's eatin' Penny Candy
Penny Candy she eats that messy kind 
Penny Candy she eats it all the time

She brightens up the neighborhood
Her little face is always glowing
And when she's in a hurry 
We all know where she's a going
It's to the little corner store 
That's awful close and handy
Then once again her happy face
Is black with Penny Candy
Penny Candy she eats that messy kind 
Penny Candy she eats it all the time

She's always got a smile for you 
If you should ever meet her
And with Candy on her face
Her smile is a little sweeter
Penelope Candance is her name 
And she likes that fine and dandy
But if you want to see her dimples show 
Just call her Penny Candy
Penny Candy she eats that messy kind 
Penny Candy she eats it all the time
