Penduli Pendulum - Bobbie Gentry

Penduli pendulum

Swing around, beat the drum

In July, I’ll deny

The illusion

I’ll be gone, beat the drum

There I go, here I come

And goodbye means good try

No conclusion

Pendulum

Like perfect rhyme

Always in predicted time

Penduli when will I learn?

Departure means a sure return

Slice the pie, leave a crumb

What have I now become?

When the lie is just some

Sad inducement

Stifled cry will become

Just a sigh, so hum-drum

When goodbye serves as my

One amusement

Penduli pendulum

Swing around, beat the drum

In July, I’ll deny

The illusion
