Penny Lane
The Beatles (Co.Ver.) Lyrics

Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
In Penny Lane, there is a barber who showcases pictures of every customer he has had the honor of serving.

Of every head he's had the pleasure to know.
He takes the utmost pride in embellishing the walls of his shop with memories of all the patrons he has groomed.

And all the people that come and go
Everyone who passes by the street greets and acknowledges each other amiably.

Stop and say "Hello".
Greeting each other with friendly salutations is typical in this neighborhood.

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,
There is a wealthy banker who likes to flaunt his opulence by showcasing his car on the street corner.

And little children laugh at him behind his back.
The children taunt him behind his back for his excessive vanity and disregard for the common people.

And the banker never wears a mac
The banker doesn't wear a coat in the rainy weather, a bizarre behavior for someone with his means.

In the pouring rain, very strange.
The locals find it peculiar that he doesn't take precautions in the deluge and instead flaunts his car.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
The sights and sounds of Penny Lane are forever etched in my consciousness.

There beneath the blue suburban skies
The vast blue skies above the serene suburban landscape is an ever-present backdrop to the daily life in Penny Lane.

I sit, and meanwhile back
I bask in the serenity of Penny Lane while something else is happening back there.

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass,
Penny Lane also has a fire station where a fireman with an hourglass works.

And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
He always carries a picture of the Queen with him, an emblem of his loyalty to his country.

He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
The fireman takes immense pride in his work and likes to keep his fire engine impeccably clean.

It's a clean machine.
His fire engine is spotless, and he maintains it as such even during slow periods.

A four of fish and finger pies
During summers, people enjoy dishes like 'four of fish and finger pies' in Penny Lane.

Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
There is a protection area in the center of the roundabout where you can retreat and take shelter from the traffic and noise.

The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray.
A pretty nurse stands there selling poppies from her tray, and it feels like a scene from a play to her.

And though she feels as if she's in a play,
The nurse feels like she's in a scripted production because of the dreamy ambiance of the neighborhood.

She is anyway.
Despite the surreal scenes playing out, the nurse carries on with her job as usual.

We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim,
The banker is now waiting on a haircut from the barber in Penny Lane.

And then the fireman rushes in
The fireman, who usually takes pride in his excellent time-management skills, rushes into the barber's shop without much thought.

From the pouring rain - very strange.
It's strange that he's making a visit during a downpour of rain.

Penny Lane!
In conclusion, Penny Lane is a place deeply embedded in my consciousness that I'll never forget.
