Testo Seven and a Half Cents - Doris Day
Testo della canzone Seven and a Half Cents (Doris Day), tratta dall'album The Complete Albums Collection 1957-62
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 heck 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
Livin' 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
(Spoken)
Five years. Now let's see. That's two hundred and sixty weeks
Times forty hours every week at roughly two and a quarter
Hours overtime at time and a half for overtime comes to exactly
Eight hundred and fifty-two dollars and seventy-four cents!
Hooray!
That's enough for me to get
An automatic washing machine
A year's 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 heck 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
Livin' 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
(Spoken)
Ten years. Now let's see. That's five hundred and twenty weeks
Times forty hours every week at roughly two and a quarter hours
Overtime at time and a half for overtime comes to exactly one
Thousand seven hundred and five dollars and forty-eight cents!
Hooray!
That's enough for me to buy
A trip to France across the sea
The motorboat and water skis
And maybe even a foreign car
A charge account at the corner bar
Not to mention a ping-pong set with paddles made of gold
So, although
[ENSEMBLE & (MAN)
(I figured it out)
Seven and a half cents
(I figured it out)
Doesn't buy a heck of a lot
(I figured it out)
Seven and a half cents
(I figured it out)
Doesn't mean a thing
(I figured it out)
But give it to me every hour
Forty hours every week
That's enough for me to be
Livin' 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
Doo wah
Only twenty years from today
Doo wah
I can see it like a vision
Only twenty years from today
Twenty years. Now let's see. That's one thousand forty weeks
Times forty hours every week
At roughly two and a quarter hours overtime
At time and a half for overtime
Comes to exactly
Three thousand four hundred and eleven dollars
And ninety-six cents!
Wow
That's enough for me to be
A sultan in the Taj Mahal
In every room a different doll
I'll have myself a buyin' spree
I'll buy a pajama factory
Then I can end up havin' old man Hasler work for me
So, although
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a heck 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
Livin' like a king
