A Ha'Penny
I wish I had a ha'penny,
I'd spend it on a whim.
I'd share it with my best friend,
Spend half of it on him.
I wish I had a ha'penny,
two farthings it would be.
One for my best friend,
the other one for me.
Into the shop we both would go,
With all our riches there to show.
We would buy a bag of sherbet,
and a licorice stick to dip.
Each taking turns to dip and lick,
Until it all was gone.
I wish I had a ha'penny,
But sadly I have none.
