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!
