I've got sixpence, jolly, jolly sixpence,
I've got sixpence, to last me all my life.
I've got twopence to spend, and twopence to lend,
And twopence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!

Chorus

No cares have I to grieve me, no pretty little girls to deceive me.
I'm as happy as a lark, believe me. As we go rolling, rolling home.
Rolling home, rolling home. [Repeat]
Rolling home to my home by the sea, boom, boom, boom.
Happy as the day when our leaders get their pay.
As we go rolling, rolling home.

I've got fourpence, jolly, jolly fourpence,
I've got fourpence, to last me all my life.
I've got twopence to spend, and twopence to lend,
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!

I've got twopence, jolly, jolly twopence,
I've got twopence, to last me all my life.
I've got twopence to spend, and no pence to lend,
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!

I've got no pence, jolly, jolly no pence, . . .
