Verse 1
(C major) Look at all the stuff I could
buy! (F major) (G major) (C major) (F major) (G major)
I could spend my (C major) little penny (G major) in a snap
(E minor) On (C major) one of (F major) any of a hundred
won (C major) drous things
I want them all, (G major) but there's so (C major) many
(D minor) And I (G major) only have one (C major) penny
Mr.
(F major) Bernard, (G major) sir
What do you think I should
spend it on right now?
Tell me, tell me!
Maybe donut (C major) s, maybe bonies
(G major) Maybe sling (E minor) shots (C major) or balon (F major) ies
Maybe pirate ships (C major) or puppet shows
Or (G major) bowls of macar (C major) oni,
maybe pipers in a tube
(G major) Maybe slices (E minor) (C major) of the (F major) moon
I just got a shiny penny and I've
(G major) gotta spend it (C major) soon
Spend it?
Right now?
Why not (G major) save it?
Why not keep it?
Till you really, really need it
Even spend it on a (F major) friend
who (G major) needs a (C major) hand
Don't be selfish, (B major) don't be hasty
What you've (E minor) got is not for wasting
You should (D major) look ahead and
make a careful (G major) plan (F major)
Every (G major) (C major) minute, every penny, (E major) every tal (A minor) ent, every (G major) gift,
(G minor) (C major) spend them (F major) well and spend them (C major) wisely.
That's the (D minor) virtue known (G major) as (C major) thrift.
It is?
Yes, (G major) of course.
These vir (C major) tues seem to be
getting into everything. (D minor)
I (G major) could spend (C major) my time today (G major) chasing rab (E minor) bits,
(C major) or I (F major) could lay in a (G major) snooze beneath the bushes.
I could frolic.
I could play. (C major)
(F major) But (G major) I only have one (C major) day.
Sir
(G major) Bernard, sir, as a (C major) fu ture knight,
how would you recommend I (G major) waste
time this afternoon (C major) in
Nipperville?
Tell me, tell (D minor) me!
(G major) Maybe sniff (C major) ing out a (D minor) snail,
maybe chas (E minor) ing my (C major) own (F major) tail,
maybe looking around (C major) the moat and
trying to (G major) catch a blubber (C major) whale.
Waste time?
Why not spend (G major) it on tomorrow?
Don't be lazy, you can borrow (E minor) time (F major) today
to make a way to meet your (C major) dreams.
Practice hard (B major) like old
Bernard
Time's a (E minor) treasure you should guard
Invest (D major) your best and soon
you'll be (G major) like me (F major)
(G major) Every minute, (C major) every penny (E minor) (E major)
(E minor) Every (E major) (A minor) talent, every (G minor) gift
Spend (C major) them (F major) well and spend
them wisely (C major)
That's the (D minor) virtue known (G major) as thrift (C major)
It (F major) is?
Yes. (C major)
Have you (F major) got that?
Yes, (G major) I do! (F major) (G major)
Every (C major) minute, every (E minor) penny, (E major) every (E minor) talent, (A minor) every (G minor) gift,
(C major) spend them (F major) well and spend them (C major) wisely.
That's the (D minor) virtue known (G major) as (C major) thrift.
I got it.
Put that in your (D minor) pocket.
(G major) Okay.
(C major) You never know when you might need it.
(D minor) I know.
(G major) I'll (C major) save it.
Very good.
(D minor) What should we do now? (G major)
(C major) Get ice cream. (C major)
What happened then,
Mr.
Green?
