Penny's Song[1] is a song that plays during Penny's Mix in WarioWare: Get It Together!. It is heavily associated with Penny herself, and is the only song in the game with lyrics. The song can also be heard in Penny's gallery after unlocking at least one of her pieces of artwork. If the player fails at a microgame in Penny's Mix, the music distorts while alternate lyrics corresponding to the failure replace the original lyrics, such as "With missteps on the way" as opposed to "With inventions she made", similarly to Falling Off Tomorrow Hill in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. The length of the timer, when playing Penny's Mix, depends on where the song is before the success or failure of a microgame, and the timer counts down to the beat of the music. Unlike other stages, the timer stays in beat with the song during the stage instead of ending soon after a microgame is won or lost.

On November 15, 2021, a Spanish version of Penny's song was released on Nintendo's YouTube channel[2], making it the first WarioWare song with lyrics to be translated in languages other than English or Japanese.

Lyrics

English

She's got her hair tied up in braids
And glasses perched up on her face
She is a small girl, taking on a big world
With inventions she made
And though her plans may go awry
She's gonna get back up and try
Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, PENNY!

She fills her days with pop songs and experiments
Poring over sheet music and blueprints
Penny longs to become the best
Singer-scientist in the whole universe

Trial and error fused with ingenuity
Penny's a bundle of joyous positivity
(Tinker, thinker, dreamer to the core)
(Singer, mechanic, she's all that and more)
Here comes the spotlight
It's what you've been reaching for

Not every song she sings will be in tune
But even when she aims for the high note
She will stand up proud and sing out loud for you
'Cause it's true, that's Penny through and through

Her workshop is where she goes to
Fix up contraptions old and new
This one's her favorite, here you can try it
She made it for you
Whenever something falls apart
It's nothing Penny can't jump-start
Everything she fixes is a gift straight from the heart

And every plan that goes all wrong
Becomes a line in her life song
She will try harder, she will sing louder
Now let's all sing along
All our mistakes from yesterday
Become new smiles today

She's got her hair tied up in braids
And glasses perched up on her face
She is a small girl, taking on a big world
With inventions she made
And though her plans may go awry
She's gonna get back up and try
Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, PENNY!

English (losing)

She's got her hair tied up in braids
And glasses perched up on her face
She is a small girl, taking on a big world
With missteps on the way
And though her plans may go awry
She's gonna get back up and try
Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, PENNY?!

She fills her days with pop songs and experiments
Poring over sheet music and blueprint
Penny longs to become the best
Singer-scientist but, oh what a mess

Trial and error fused with ingenuity
Penny's a bundle of joyous positivity
(Tinker, thinker, dreamer to the core)
(Pick yourself up when you fall on the floor)
Here comes the spotlight
It's what you've been reaching for

Not every song she sings will be in tune
But even when she lands on a flat note
She will stand up proud and sing out loud for you
'Cause it's true, even good songs can fall through

Her workshop is where she goes to
Fix up contraptions old and new
This one's her favorite, here you can try it
It's missing a screw
Whenever something falls apart
It's nothing Penny can't jump-start
Everything she fixes is a gift straight from the heart...

And every plan that goes all wrong
Becomes a line in her life song
She will try harder, she will sing louder
Now let's all sing along
All our mistakes from yesterday
May hurt but it's okay

She's got her hair tied up in braids
And glasses perched up on her face
She is a small girl, taking on a big world
With missteps on the way
And though her plans may go awry
She's gonna get back up and try
Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, PENNY?!

Sporting braids and round glasses
A small, bright inventor
Yesterday’s failures become today’s smiles
Everyone’s idol, shining Penny

Passionate about songs and experiments, she is a girl who loves excitement
Her dream is to be the number one singing idol-scientist in the universe
Positive train of thought, curiosity, trial-and-error
Steadily dreams become reality, overcome trials and errors, GO!
Look! Every day is getting brighter

When she's in a bit of a slump she gets disheartened, but
No matter what we think of it, we still love her

Strange ideas, bizarre gadgetry
Try out a prototype model made for her fans
Whatever the problem, Penny solves it
With her love embedded in a heart mark

Proceeding as planned or back to square one
None of that bothers her
Even her ongoing troubles are expected tomorrow

Sporting braids and round glasses
A small, bright inventor
Yesterday’s failures become today’s smiles
Everyone’s idol, loveable Penny
