Times have really changed -
Since I was a boy…
Finding a penny -
Was a source of joy…
The trip to the candy store -
Was a remarkable event…
Contemplating your choices -
'Til your money was spent…
It meant bubble gum -
Lollipops and hard candy too…
They all cost a penny -
Just to name a few…
Nowadays it's different -
What can a penny do…
The answer my friend -
Is all up to you…
Find that brown coin -
And bring it past your door…
Then each day you double -
The amount you had before…
And in thirty days -
You can live of life of bliss…
With one million dollars -
Finding joy is hard to miss…
