Seven-And-A-Half-Cents - Doris Day
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
And 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
Let's see
That's 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 dollars and 74 cents
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
She figured it out
I figured it out
With a pencil and a pad I 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
That's 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 dollars and 48 cents
That's enough for me to buy
A trip to France across the seas
A motorboat and water skis
Maybe even a foreign 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
That's 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 dollars and 96 cents
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
Halser 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
