The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Verse 1
Access to her cove lovestruck was my mode
Took a look dropped my textbook Jenifa...oh!
Breakfast broke it fast she was in my English class
Asked for notes rocked my boat Jenifa...oh!
Jenny lost her favourite penny so I gave her a dollar
She kissed me and I hollered!
In a flash the schoolbell rang Jenny grabbed onto my hand
Took me home and said "Trugoy just swing it swing it swing!"
Verse 2
The Downstairs where we met, I'd brought records, she'd cassettes
Lost a break, found her shake, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Transcripts showed more than flirt, "I love daisies" read her shirt
Grabbed my jeans, Jimmy screamed, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Morals shaped like the floss, no-one could live their life for Pos
Found her house, aroused my joust, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Her clothes I did shuck, just like Dan I strictly stuck
To the punt, she cried "Kick it!", Posdnous was in
Jenny only thought about Jimmy, but asked was I a virgin
Like some kid named Derwin?
She said, "Let's try it in the bathroom", but the 'nous is way above
sinks
So to the kitchen she did Dan and came back wrapped in Saran
Break
Now wait a minute! Little Derwin got somethin' to show us that Jenny
could never do... (Listen...)
Hey! Look at little Derwin! Look at him go, look at him go!
Awwwwww...Baby!
Verse 3
Positions, muscles flexed, Dove was lost in a Ghana hex
Passed her test, felt her teddy, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Notions soothed the mood, Dove was lost in De La heaven
Scream Plug 2, did the do, Jenifa, oh Jenny
Jenny teased my homeboy Granny, in fact she teased so many
She was known as a garden tool
No more I dispatch, was it Jimmy had met his match?
Or could it be the realisation all girls owned a Jenny?
For normal health I have fought, a valuable lesson she hath taught
Don't flaunt that the candy is good unless you came with plenty
