Half A Sixpence (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

0

[ARTHUR, SID, BUGGINS, AND PEARCE]
Economy
[ARTHUR]
Our wages week is a long time comin'
[ARTHUR, SID, BUGGINS, AND PEARCE]
All in the cause of economy
[PEARCE]
The gas pipe's weak and there ain't no plummin'
[ARTHUR, SID, BUGGINS, AND PEARCE]
All in the cause of economy
[BUGGINS]
There's hundreds of rules we must all obey
[SID]
But each time we break one, it makes his day
[ARTHUR]
'Cause it gives him a chance to dock our pay
[ARTHUR, SID, BUGGINS, AND PEARCE]
All in the cause of economy
[PEARCE]
He gives us tea, but it's hard and watered
[ARTHUR, SID, BUGGINS, AND PEARCE]
All in the cause of economy
[BUGGINS]
The beer is free, but the beer is water
[ARTHUR, SID, BUGGINS, AND PEARCE]
All in the cause of economy
At mealtime we set down and say our prayer
We pray for some steak that is nice and rare
[ARTHUR]
'Cause the steak is so rare, it's rarely there
[ARTHUR, SID, BUGGINS, AND PEARCE]
All in the cause of economy
Old Shalford has a way
Of saving money for his emporium
All in the cause of economy
We've earned a raise but don't get any
All in the cause of economy
[PEARCE]
In winter, we perish
To save his coal
[PEARCE, BUGGINS AND SID]
And even on Sunday, he takes his toll
[ARTHUR, SID, BUGGINS, AND PEARCE]
When he sends us to church
To save his soul
Efficiency
Economy
La la la la la la la la
Efficiency
Economy
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Efficiency
Economy
Efficiency
Economy
System
Hey, hey
Hut, oi oi
[BUGGINS]
He buys things low
[SID]
And he ups the prices
[ARTHUR, SID, BUGGINS, AND PEARCE]
All in the cause of economy
[PEARCE]
He's pure as snow
'Cause he's got no vices
[ARTHUR, SID, BUGGINS, AND PEARCE]
All in the cause of economy
[BUGGINS]
And as for his missus
From what one hears
[ARTHUR, SID, BUGGINS, AND PEARCE]
She sits all alone
In floods of tears
[ARTHUR]
'Cause she ain't had a kiss
[ARTHUR, SID, BUGGINS, AND PEARCE]
In forty years
All in the cause
All in the cause
All
In the cause of economy
