Look at all the stuff I could buy
I could spend my little penny in a snap on one of any
Of a hundred wondrous things, I want them all but there's so many
And I only have one penny
Mr. Bernard, sir, what do you think I should spend it on?
Right now, tell me, tell me
Maybe donuts, maybe ponies
Maybe slingshots or baloneys
Maybe pirate ships or puppet shows or bowls of macaroni
Maybe pipers in a tune
Maybe slices of the moon
I just got a shiny penny and I've gotta spend it soon
Spend it? Right now?
Why not save it? Why not keep it
'Til you really, really need it?
Even spend it on a friend who needs a hand
Don't be selfish, don't be hasty
What you've got is not for wasting
You should look ahead and make a careful plan
Every minute, every penny
Every talent, every gift
Spend them well and spend them wisely
That's the virtue known as thrift
It is?
Yes, of course
These virtues seem to be getting into everything
I could spend my time today chasing rabbits
Or I could lay in a snooze beneath the bushes
I could frolic, I could play
But I only have one day
Sir Bernard, sir, as a future knight
How would you recommend I waste time this afternoon in Nipperville?
Tell me, tell me
Maybe sniffing out a snail
Maybe chasing my own tail
Maybe bumping 'round the moat and trying to catch a blubber whale
Waste time?
Why not spend it on tomorrow?
Don't be lazy, you can borrow time today
To make a way to reach your dreams
Practice hard like Hogan Eye
Time's a treasure you should guard
Invest your best and soon you'll be like me
Every minute, every penny
Every talent, every gift
Spend them well and spend them wisely
That's the virtue known as thrift
It is?
Yes, have you got that?
