Penelope Halfpenny sat on the desk
Then stretched and grinned
She cracked her spine
And so we sinned
While Ruth in red and Beckett in blue
Into

a penny in
If you haven't got a penny an halfpenny will do
If you haven't got an halfpenny then God bless you

Go down into your cellar and see what you can

Come with a whoop and come with a call
And come with a good will or not at all
Up the ladder and down the wall
A half-penny loaf will serve us all.

You

twopence-halfpenny is all
They give me for my toil.'

But I was thinking of a way
To feed oneself on batter,
And so go on from day to day
Getting a little fatter.

like him?
When he'd hardly got two halfpennies left, or a broken pot to piss in.
He wanted this same thing for me, was that his final wish?
He said,

at the cobbler's shop
And you know last Sunday morning
You bought a pint of pop

There's twopence goes for blacking
And eightpence halfpenny cheese
Three farthing

can't see the beautiful way when you're burning so bright

Your halfpenny eyes smile like a fire-sale
Everyone's a suspect, the horses won't move up

like Glottis
Hot rod god shit
Chron'o'johns out of porta potties
Red paint feint for the cherry choppers
Halfpenny operas
Back and bigger than breadboxes

the street.

Come with a whoop, come with a call,
Come with a good will or not at all.
Up the ladder and down the wall,
A halfpenny roll will serve us all.

the street.
Come with a whoop, come with a call,
Come with a good will or not at all.
Up the ladder and down the wall,
A half-penny roll will serve us all.
You

give in – defy your fears tonight
A halfpenny for a humble self-made man
Who dreams of wild wolves with big yachts
Give him fire, give him soul

thing
Nothing has meaning unframed
Everything is a contextual thing
Who knows what she means...

shouldn't ignore
Take a look at the state you're in
The state of self indifference
Consider this your wake up call
