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,
 And that's enough for me to be living like a king!
 I figured it out
 He figured it out!
 (Prez)
 I figured it out
 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!
 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
 She figured it out!
 (Babe)
 I figured it out!
 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!
 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 and Prez)
 We figured it out!
 They figured it out!
 They figured it out!
 (Babe and Prez)
 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 and 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!
 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!
