A've a penny in ma' poakit,
an' am gonna spend it a',
a'll mibbe buy some sweeties,
or a spongy rubber ba'

A' could stoat it up the close,
or mibbe oan the stair,
But Mr Broon'll chase me,
saying his baldy heid is sair.

But A think a'll keep ma penny,
till the morra efternoon,
am say ma prayers the night,
tae mak' it change tae hauf a croon.
