The Pajama Game movie - Seven And A Half Cents lyrics
rate me<br>
(Prez)<br>
I figured it out<br>
I figured it out<br>
With a pencil and a pad I figured it out!<br>
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,<br>
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!<br>
But give it to me every hour,<br>
Forty hours every week, <br>
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!<br>
I figured it out<br>
<br>
(chorus)<br>
He figured it out!<br>
<br>
(Prez)<br>
I figured it out<br>
<br>
(Chorus)<br>
He figured it out!<br>
<br>
(Prez)<br>
With a pencil and a pad I figured it out!<br>
Only five years from today!<br>
Only five years from today!<br>
I can see it all before me!<br>
Only five years from today!<br>
Five years! Let's see..thats 260 weeks, times forty hours every week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime.. at time<br>
and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly.. $852.74!<br>
That's enough for me to get<br>
An automatic washing machine,<br>
A years supply of gasoline,<br>
Carpeting for the living room,<br>
A vacuum instead of a blasted broom,<br>
Not to mention a forty inch television set!<br>
<br>
(Chorus)<br>
So! Although!<br>
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,<br>
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!<br>
But give it to me every hour,<br>
Forty hours every week, <br>
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!<br>
<br>
(Babe)<br>
I figured it out<br>
<br>
(Chorus)<br>
She figured it out!<br>
<br>
(Babe)<br>
I figured it out!<br>
<br>
(Chorus)<br>
She figured it out!<br>
<br>
(Babe)<br>
Only ten years from today,<br>
Only ten years from today,<br>
I can see it, clear as daylight,<br>
Only ten years from today!<br>
Ten years! Let's see..thats 520 weeks, times forty hours every week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime.. at time<br>
and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly.. $1705.48!<br>
That's enough for me to buy<br>
A trip to France across the seas,<br>
A motorboat and water skis,<br>
Maybe even a foregian car,<br>
A charge account at the corner bar,<br>
Not to mention a scrabble board with letters made of gold!<br>
<br>
(Chorus)<br>
So! Although!<br>
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,<br>
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!<br>
But give it to me every hour,<br>
Forty hours every week, <br>
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!<br>
<br>
(Babe and Prez)<br>
We figured it out!<br>
<br>
(Chorus)<br>
They figured it out!<br>
They figured it out!<br>
<br>
(Babe and Prez)<br>
We figured it out!<br>
<br>
(All)<br>
With a pencil and a pad they figured it out<br>
<br>
(Babe)<br>
Only twenty years from today<br>
<br>
(Prez)<br>
Only twenty years from today<br>
<br>
(Babe)<br>
I can see it like a vision<br>
<br>
(All)<br>
Only twenty years from today<br>
<br>
(Prez and Babe)<br>
Twenty years! Let's see..thats 1040 weeks, times forty hours every week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime.. at<br>
time and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly.. $3411.96!<br>
Wow!<br>
<br>
(Prez)<br>
That's enough for me to be<br>
A sultan in a taj mahal<br>
In every room a different doll!<br>
<br>
(Babe)<br>
I'll have myself a buying spree,<br>
I'll buy a pajama factory,<br>
Then I could end up having old man Hasler work for me!<br>
<br>
(Chorus)<br>
So! Although!<br>
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,<br>
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!<br>
But give it to me every hour,<br>
Forty hours every week, <br>
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!<br>
