Baal-Berith's Bedtime Stories & Lullabies

Worth a Pence

Life is like a Penny,

It's worth more than a pence.

So if you lose that penny,

Well that wouldn't make much sense.

So you better keep it head side up,

Or you will stay forever down.

Once you flip it all the way up,

You might be happy all around.

Life is like a penny,

It cost more than a pence.

So if you lose that penny,

Well that wouldn't make much sense.

You drop it in the dirt sometimes,

You always can brush it off.

If you drop it in red wine.

You'd surely get a cough.

Life is like a penny,

You better not lose that pence.

Because if you lose that penny,

Life wouldn't make much sense.

Down, down the merry-go-round,

A child wants to play.

He's stuck between the carts,

I don't think there's much to say.

Life is like a penny,

It's worth more than you think.

You hide the pence in your sleep,

But that's not what Grimm thinks.

Around, Around, the merry-go-round,

your meal will surely fly.

You hick and shiver by the pound,

Yes time will surely go by.

Life is like a penny,

Once you lost that pence.

Your life will surely die,

Once you cross the fence.

And once the fence is gone,

You will be gone too.

So make sure you keep that pence at your side,

or you'll get eaten too.
