As I was wand'ring through the woods,
I found a wishing well,
and since I had a secret wish,
I thought to stop a spell.

I spoke my whispered wish aloud,
then tossed my penny in --
it whirled and twirled 'til bottom found,
then took its final spin.

Dear penny, land on heads, I plea
to give good fortune due,
for when your luck looks up on me
my wish will sure come true.
