Boys wear overcoats in heat like this to keep themselves from showing.
Girls fill out prescriptions for the tricks that keep their hearts from growing.
Specialists review the year in tears and call for drastic measures:
"Send them to resorts for boys and girls to get their wits together!"
Sad, but true—the facts of life are bound to get you down.
So what's the use, dear Jenny? Anyway, the world is pretty...
Ashley talks to astronauts back home by means of fax transmission.
Andy gets a new tattoo each time he gets back bathroom privelege.
Weary, oh so drearily, we wave our flags into the camera.
It's Amber goes the hotline, we're all friends but no one ever answers
Sad, but true—the truth can turn your smile to a frown.
So what's the use, dear Jenny? Anyway, the world is pretty
upside-down...
The rates are better in the summer.
Oh-a-o-a-oh-a-oh
The rates are better in the summer.
Aohhh, aohhh
Looks like old Jenny's doing better...
Oh-a-o-a-oh-a-oh
The rates are better in the summer.
Back at home, the broadcast warning bounces off of an empty table.
Jenny asks the astronauts to sleep with her behind the stable.
Christmas hasn't been the same since Dad put in the central heating—
checks you before bedtime with a battery to keep your new heart beating.
And the world might turn a million times around before
they tell you, Jenny. Anyway, the world is happy, world is happy,
world is happy, world is happy.
Sometimes they let strangers in and other times they check their records;
When they check out in the morning, Dad puts out the lie detectors.
Jenny prays to gods she's never heard of for a special warning.
All the walls stay dead as Jenny's head is
but shes still observing.
Sad, but true—the two of us might really make it through.
So what's the use, dear Jenny? Anyway,
the world is happy—
world is happy—
world is happy without you...
The rates are better in the summer....
Oh-a-o-a-oh-a-oh
The rates are better in the summer....
Aohhh, aohhh
Looks like old Jenny's doing better...
Oh-a-o-a-oh-a-oh
The rates are better in the summer....

Review about Dear Jenny Name usage, general review | Reviewer: Anna | 11/9/09
Angry Jenny,
Get over it. I have to put up with my name being used in horrid contexts, and unfortunately it seems to be popular with recent b-movie quality horror.
The name use gives it the feel of a cheesy 50's perfect world picture, and it sounds upbeat, which of course fits the tune but clashes with the meaning.
-----
I really love sarcastic songs. The Dresden Dolls have many, which makes me happy. <3
It kind of seems like its' about how the world sucks from a general view, and then how when some try to help, they just make things more difficult.
One Angry Jenny | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/6/08
It would be quite a lot better if she didn't use relatively normal names in her songs. I'm a pessimist, and this song fits me in certain ways, but in others it's just insulting.
I know she wasn't writing about me,but it's still obnoxious to hear my name used in her context.
Lyrics from the record | Reviewer: Stephanie | 6/30/08
Sometimes Amanda just switches the lyrics around on stage, and these are probably lyrics from live performances so I thought I'd add in lyrics from the record.
_________________________
live (sometimes): "Amber goes berserk completely; she's been here since last December."
on the record: "Amber goes the hotline, we're all friends but no one ever answers."
_________________________
live (sometimes): "Sad, but true—the high-gloss paint won't tell you what to do."
on the record: "Sad, but true-the two of us might really make it through."
