Every Minute, Every Penny Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Look at all the stuff I could
[F]buy![G][C][F][G]
I could spend my [C]little [G]penny in a snap
[Em]On one o[C]f any [F]of a hundred
won[C]drous things
I want [G]them all, but there's so [C]many
[Dm]And I only[G] have one penn[C]y
Mr.
[F]Bernard, [G]sir
What do you think I should
spend it on right now?
Tell me, tell me!
Maybe [C]donuts, maybe bonies
[G]Maybe slingsho[Em]ts or [C]balonies[F]
Maybe pirate [C]ships or puppet shows
Or [G]bowls of macar[C]oni,
maybe pipers in a tube
[G]Maybe [Em]slices [C]of the [F]moon
I just got a shiny penny and I've
[G]gotta spend it [C]soon
Spend it?
Right now?
Why not [G]save it?
Why not keep it?
Till you really, really need it
Even spend it on a [F]friend
who [G]needs [C]a hand
Don't be [B]selfish, don't be hasty
What you've [Em]got is not for wasting
You should [D]look ahead and
make a careful [G]plan[F]
[G]Every [C]minute, every [E]penny, every [Am]tal ent, every [G]gift,
[Gm]spen[C]d them well an[F]d spend them wisely.[C]
That's the [Dm]virtue [G]known as [C]thrift.
It is?
Yes, [G]of course.
These vir[C]tues seem to be
getting into [Dm]everything.
[G]I could s[C]pend my time t[G]oday chasing rabb[Em]its,
[C]or I [F]could lay in a [G]snooze beneath the bushes.
I could frolic.
I [C]could play.
[F]But [G]I only have one d[C]ay.
Sir
[G]Bernard, sir, as a [C]fu ture knight,
how would you recommend I [G]waste
time this afternoon [C]in
Nipperville?
Tell me, [Dm]tell me!
[G]Maybe sni[C]ffing out a sna[Dm]il,
maybe chas[Em]ing [C]my own t[F]ail,
maybe looking [C]around the moat and
trying to [G]catch a blubber [C]whale.
Waste time?
Why not [G]spend it on tomorrow?
Don't be lazy, you can borrow [Em]time [F]today
to make a way to meet your [C]dreams.
Practice [B]hard like old
Bernard
Time's a [Em]treasure you should guard
[D]Invest your best and soon
you'll be [G]like [F]me
[G]Every [C]minute, every [Em]penny[E]
[Em]Ever[E]y tale[Am]nt, every gift[Gm]
[C]Spend them [F]well and spend
them [C]wisely
That's the [Dm]virtue [G]known as [C]thrift
[F]It is?
[C]Yes.
Have you [F]got that?
[G]Yes, I [F]do![G]
Every [C]minute, every [Em]penny, [E]every [Em]talen[Am]t, every gift,[Gm]
[C]spend them wel[F]l and spend them wis[C]ely.
That's the [Dm]virtue [G]known as [C]thrift.
I got it.
Put that in your [Dm]pocket.
[G]Okay.
[C]You never know when you might need it.
[Dm]I know.
[G]I'll [C]save it.
Very good.
[Dm]What should we do [G]now?
[C]Get ice cre[C]am.
What happened then,
Mr.
Green?
