Seven And A Half Cents - Doris Day Ensemble
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 $85274
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 $170548
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 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
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 $341196
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
