The Penny Song

Last week,  Lynda Ann, Mallory and I picked up Susan at the Huntsman Center and drove her home to Midway.  It was a blustery evening but we made it safely to Midway, visited and came back safely.  While we were there Lila Mae handed me the words to the penny song that we had all tried to remember all the verses.  Apparently, as the old saying goes, you can find anything on the internet and I now believe it.  Susan was able to find the old Primary Song.  As you can tell by the final verse of the song, that it was to collect money for Primary Children's Hospital.  That was the other part I couldn't remember why we did it.  So happy that I now have the words to the song.  More memories now recorded.

Five pennies make a nickel

Two nickels make a dime

Ten dimes will make a dollar

Oh how we'll make it shine.

It's for the crippled children

Who cannot walk or run

Who have to be a bed all day

And cannot join the fun

So let us be unselfish

And bring our pennies here

To help the crippled children

Become better year by year.
