Doris Day — Seven and a Half Cents

[PREZ] 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 [ENSEMBLE] He figured it out! [PREZ] I figured it out [Chorus] He figured it out! [PREZ] 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..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! [ENSEMBLE] 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! [BABE] I figured it out [ENSEMBLE] She figured it out! [BABE] I figured it out! [ENSEMBLE] She figured it out! [BABE] 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! [ENSEMBLE] 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! [PREZ & BABE] We figured it out! [ENSEMBLE] They figured it out! They figured it out! [PREZ & BABE] We figured it out! [ALL] With a pencil and a pad they figured it out [BABE] Only twenty years from today [PREZ] Only twenty years from today [BABE] I can see it like a vision [ALL] Only twenty years from today [PREZ & BABE] 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! [PREZ] That's enough for me to be A sultan in a taj mahal In every room a different doll! [BABE] 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! [ENSEMBLE] 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!
