I've Got Sixpence

 
I've got sixpence, jolly, jolly sixpence
I've got sixpence, to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend, and twopence to lend
And twopence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!

No cares have I to grieve me, no pretty little girls to deceive me
I'm as happy as a lark, believe me. As we go rolling, rolling home
Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home to my home by the sea, boom, boom, boom
Happy as the day when our leaders get their pay
As we go rolling, rolling home

I've got fourpence, jolly, jolly fourpence
I've got fourpence, to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend, and twopence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!

I've got twopence, jolly, jolly twopence
I've got twopence, to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend, and no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!

I've got no pence, jolly, jolly no pence . . . 
I've got no pence, to last me all my life
I've got no pence to spend, and no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!
