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 heck 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
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 heckof 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

"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 ping pong set with paddles made of gold

So Although
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a heck 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 heck 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
