seven-and-a-half cents - original broadway cast of the pajama game lyrics
[prez]
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 h*ll 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 livin’ like a king
i figured it out
[ensemble]
he figured it out
[prez]
i figured it out
[ensemble]
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
(spoken)
fivе years. now let’s see. that’s two hundred and sixty weeks, timеs forty hours every week, at roughly two and a quarter hours overtime, at time and a half for overtime, comes to exactly eight hundred and fifty two dollars and seventy*four cents!
[ensemble, spoken]
yay!
[prez]
that’s enough for me to get
an automatic washing machine
a year’s supply of gasoline
carpeting for the living room
[women]
a vacuum instead of a blasted broom
[prez]
not to mention a forty*inch television set
[ensemble]
so! although!
seven and a half cents doesn’t buy a h*ll 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 livin’ like a king
[babe]

[ensemble]
she figured it out, she figured it out
[babe]
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
(spoken)
ten years. now let’s see. that’s five hundred and twenty weeks, times forty hours every week, at roughly two and a quarter hours overtime, at time and a half for overtime, comes to exactly one thousand six hundred and five dollars and forty*eight cents!
[ensemble, spoken]
yay!
[babe]
that’s enough for me to buy
a trip to france across the seas
a motorboat with water skis
and maybe even a foreign car
[man]
a charge account at the corner bar
[babe]
and not to mention a scrabble board
with letters made of gold
[ensemble]
so! although! (i figured it out)
seven and a half cents (i figured it out)
doesn’t buy a h*ll of a lot (i figured it out)
seven and a half cents (i figured it out)
doesn’t mean a thing (i figured it out)
