Original Broadway Cast Orchestra, Harold Hastings, Original Broadway Cast Ensamble, Original Broadway Cast Ensemble, Janis Paige & Stanley Prager - Seven-and-a-Half Cents Lyrics

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,
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! Now 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!

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!

I figured it out!

She 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.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!

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 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.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!

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!
