A long time ago a second liutenant named Spears Returned to the states after being away three years His wife said welcome home, dear And since you've been gone, you see We were blessed with a little baby And a sweet little things is he She took the baby in her arms And said, Benny is his name He said, I've been gone away for three years Darling won't you please explain So I won't seem so dumb Tell me where did little Benny come from? And every time he asked she'd say Benny's from heaven His face got red But she repeatedly said Benny's from heaven He said I've asked the neighbors That come around But no one seems to remember Benny coming down Well, he said, about a little thing like this I ordinarily wouldn't bother But, darling, there is one thing I know about children I know they gotta have a father So when I look at Benny I can plainly see Benny's gotta be from heaven 'Cause he damn sure ain't from me ♪ Trade them for a package of Sunshine and flowers If you want the things you love You must have showers So when you hear it thunder Don't run under a tree There'll be Pennies from heaven For you and for me There'll be Pennies from heaven For you and me
