O my little sixpence!

O my little sixpence!

I love sixpence!

I love sixpence better than my life;

I spent a penny of it,

I lent another of it,

I carried fourpence home to my wife.

O my little fourpence!

I love fourpence!

I love fourpence better than my life;

I spent a penny of it,

I lent another of it,

I carried twopence home to my wife.

O my little twopence!

I love twopence!

I love twopence better than my life;

I spent a penny of it,

I lent another of it,

I carried nothing home to my wife.

O my little nothing!

I've got nothing!

I've got nothing for the rest of my life;

I can spend nothing,

I can lend nothing,

But I love nothing better than my wife.
