From the recording Parts and Labor
Somewhere in Santa Cruz there is a little girl playing in the sand by the ocean
Lyrics
Penelope plays hide and seek
her eyes are closed but she might peek
summer days that go on forever
Fireworks and ferris wheels
polka dots and circus bears
skip along as light as a feather
She’s rocking on the West Coast
Sha-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la
Penelope is dialed in
laugh and sing and dance and spin
she’s a superstar
Penelope and Rex and Lulu
underneath the stars
dance away the night with each other
In and out of Saturn’s rings
supersonic trampoline
painting with the colors of summer
She’s rocking on the West Coast
Sha-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la
Penelope is dialed in
laugh and sing and dance and spin
she’s a superstar
Lemon cakes and tangerines
waterfalls and candy floss
underneath a big red sombrero
Penelope’s a bullet train
slicing through the summer rain
faster than a big blue Camaro
She’s rocking on the West Coast
Sha-la-la-la Sha-la-la-la-la
Penelope is dialed in
laugh and sing and dance and spin
she’s a superstar
