I've got sixpence, jolly, jolly, sixpence. I've got sixpence to last me all my life. I've got tuppence to lend, and tuppence to spend and tuppence to send home to my wife, poor wife. Chorus No cares have I to grieve me. No pretty little girls (or sassy little boys) to decieve me. I'm as happy as a lark, believe me. As we go rolling, rolling home. Rolling home, rolling home. By the light of the silvery moom. Happy as the day when the sailors get their pay (teachers/counselors go away). As we go rolling, rolling home.

Verse sung 4 times all together With each verse, decrease to fourpence, tuppence then no pence, and divide tuppence so first wife gets no pence, then no pence to lend and none for wife, etc.
