Generate meaning
1
Penelope works in the market
2
Down in the coconut trees
3
She's saving up all her money
4
To go to America across the sea
5
She once had an uncle
6
He lived in Detroit town
7
They got all his post cards
8
But his body has never been found
9
To this day
10
To this day
11
She got a job as a domestic
12
Workin' for the minimum wage
13
All her friends back home in Jamaica
14
They say, 'You really got it made in the shade'
15
But they don't see her sweat and grind
16
And her bended on her knees
17
She wishes she was back in Jamaica
18
Beneath the coconut trees
19
[Chorus:]
20
Everyday, Everyday
21
Everyday, Everyday
22
[Solo]
23
[Chorus:]
24
Penelope's back in the market
25
She found what it was all about
26
Oh no, she doesn't regret it
27
She's just glad that she got out
28
But others aren't so lucky
29
They're there till the day they die
30
Trapped in steel and concrete
31
No beach No moon No sky
32
[Chorus:]
33
[Solo]
34
[Chorus:]
