I Love Sixpence

I LOVE sixpence, pretty little sixpence,

I love sixpence better than my life;

I spent a penny of it, I spent another,

And I took fourpence home to my wife.

Oh, my little fourpence, my pretty little fourpence,

I love fourpence better than my life;

I spent a penny of it, I spent another,

And I took twopence home to my wife.

Oh, my little twopence, my pretty little twopence,

I love twopence better than my life;

I spent a penny of it, I spent another,

And I took nothing home to my wife.

Oh, my little nothing, my pretty little nothing,

What will nothing buy for my wife?

I have nothing, I spend nothing,

And I love nothing better than my wife.
