[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 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 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)
Five years. Now let's see. That's two hundred and sixty weeks, times 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]
Hooray!

[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 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 livin' like a king
[BABE]
I figured it out

[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. 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 seven hundred and five dollars and forty-eight cents!

[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
Hooray!

[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
[MEN]
A charge account at the corner bar

[BABE]
Not to mention a ping-pong set
With paddles made of gold

[ENSEMBLE]
So! Although! (I figured it out)
Seven and a half cents (I figured it out)
Doesn't buy a heck 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)
But give it to me every hour
Forty hours every week
That's enough for me to be livin' like a king

[PREZ & BABE]
We figured it out

[ENSEMBLE]
They figured it out, they figured it out

[PREZ & BABE]
We figured it out

[ENSEMBLE]
With a pencil and a pad they figured it out

[BABE]
Only twenty years from today

[ENSEMBLE]
Doo wah

[PREZ]
Only twenty years from today

[ENSEMBLE]
Doo wah

[BABE]
I can see it like a vision

[ENSEMBLE]
Only twenty years from today
Mmm

[PREZ, spoken]
Twenty years. Now let's see. That's one thousand forty weeks—

[BABE, spoken]
Times forty hours every week—

[PREZ, spoken]
At roughly two and a quarter hours overtime—

[BABE, spoken]
At time and a half for overtime—

[PREZ, spoken]
Comes to exactly—

[BABE, spoken]
Three thousand four hundred and eleven dollars—

[PREZ, spoken]
And ninety-six cents!

[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
Wow!

[PREZ]
That's enough for me to be
A sultan in the Taj Mahal
In every room a different doll

[BABE]
I'll have myself a buyin' spree
I'll buy a pajama factory
Then I could end up havin' old man Hasler work for me

[ENSEMBLE]
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 livin' like a king!
