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
(Spoken)
Five years, let's see, that's two hundred and sixty weeks
Times forty hours every week, and 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!
(ENSEMBLE)
Wow!
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 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
(Spoken)
Ten years, let's see, that's five hundred and twenty weeks
Times forty hours every week, 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!
(ENSEMBLE)
Wow!
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
We 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
ย
Twenty years, let's see, that's one thousand, forty weeks
Times forty hours every week
And 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 buying spree
I'll buy a pajama factory
Then I could end up
Have an old man Hassler 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
