Seven-and-a-Half Cents
I figured it out
I figured it out
With a pencil and a pad I figured it out!
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!
But give it to me every hour,
Forty hours every week,
That's enough for me to be living like a king!
I figured it out
He figured it out!
I figured it out
He figured it out!
With a pencil and a pad I figured it out!
Only five years from today!
Only five years from today!
I can see it all before me!
Only five years from today!
Five years! Now Let's see.thats 260 weeks, times forty hours every week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime. at time
and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly. $852.74!
That's enough for me to get
An automatic washing machine,
A years supply of gasoline,
Carpeting for the living room,
A vacuum instead of a blasted broom,
Not to mention a forty inch television set!
So! Although!
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!
But give it to me every hour,
Forty hours every week,
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!
I figured it out
She figured it out!
I figured it out!
She figured it out!
Only ten years from today,
Only ten years from today,
I can see it, clear as daylight,
Only ten years from today!
Ten years! Let's see.thats 520 weeks, times forty hours every week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime. at time
and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly. $1705.48!
That's enough for me to buy
A trip to France across the seas,
A motorboat and water skis,
Maybe even a foregian car,
A charge account at the corner bar,
Not to mention a scrabble board with letters made of gold!
So! Although!
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!
But give it to me every hour,
Forty hours every week,
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!
We figured it out!
They figured it out!
They figured it out!
We figured it out!
With a pencil and a pad they figured it out
Only twenty years from today
Only twenty years from today
I can see it like a vision
Only twenty years from today
Twenty years! Let's see.thats 1040 weeks, times forty hours every week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime. at
time and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly. $3411.96!
Wow!
That's enough for me to be
A sultan in a taj mahal
In every room a different doll!
I'll have myself a buying spree,
I'll buy a pajama factory,
Then I could end up having old man Hasler work for me!
So! Although!
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!
But give it to me every hour,
Forty hours every week,
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!
