I love sixpence, jolly, jolly, sixpence,

I love sixpence as my life.

I spent a penny of it, I spent a penny of it,

I took a penny home to my wife.


I love fourpence, jolly, jolly fourpence,

I love fourpence as my life.

I spent twopence of it,I spent twopence of it,

I took twopence home to my wife.


I have nothing, jolly, jolly nothing

I love nothing as my life.

I spent nothing of it, I spent nothing of it,

I took nothing home to my wife.
