Jenny (a song)

Jenny wakes up in the morning
Her heart is a-go
She dresses and looks in the mirr'r and
Says, "Yes dear, I know."

Her bus trundles by to the
Traffic's ebb and flow
She watches the people inside
As it starts to snow

She thinks about all that she is
And if all of it shows
She looks in their eyes and wonders
If anyone knows

Jenny greets and smiles wide and
Continues her work
It's tedious, timely and tough
And sends her berserk

Complaints met with smiles as she
Tries not to be a jerk
But she wonders if he really knows what
He means by 'berk'

When tea-time arrives she rejoices
And turns the page
For the rest of the night she is free
To take to the stage

All pretty and perfectly her
Yet much more sage
Again watch the world as it does
Something more than age

Jeremiah steps into the light
Through the side stage door
He throws his arms wide and he smirks as
He hears his applause

He sings and he rhymes and expounds
On his favourite cause
The performance is so convincing
It gives her pause

She thinks about all that he is
And if all of it shows
They look in his eyes and she wonders
If anyone knows

Jenny wakes up in the morning
Her heart still a-go
She yawns and she looks in the mirr'r
And smiles just so

For the first time in a really long time, I wrote (what appears to be) the entire piano part for a song I had only the vaguest idea about. These lyrics came mostly yesterday, but the piano grabbed me and thrust me toward the keys two days ago. It was quite thrilling.
