- written by Arthur William Halifax and Melle Weersma

and His Royal Canadians
Once I strayed 'neath the window of a lovely seorita
And she smiled while I softly played my Penny Serenade
Si, si, si, you can hear it for a penny
Si, si, si, just a Penny Serenade
In her eyes shone the tender dawn of love and sweet surrender
As for me, in my heart I played a lover's serenade
Si, si, si, hear my love song for a penny
Si, si, si, just a Penny Serenade
For that night so divine she was mine, no word had been spoken
When I woke from my dream she was gone, my poor heart was broken
Still I pray that wherever she may be she will remember
In her heart she will always hear my Penny Serenade
Si, si, si, hear my love song for a penny
Si, si, si, just a Penny Serenade
Gaetano Alberto Lombardo, known as Guy Lombardo, was a celebrated Canadian orchestra leader and violinist of Italian descent. Born in Toronto in 1899, he began his musical career playing the violin in a local band. Throughout the 1920s, Lombardo formed his orchestra, which quickly gained popularity for its elegant arrangements and refined performances. His music was characterized by a light jazz sound with romantic undertones, often accompanied by popular songs of the era.
