Lyrics

 * Wakko:
 * I've got a ha'penny today!


 * Yakko and Dot:
 * He's got a ha'penny, hooray!


 * Dr. Scratchansniff
 * How did you dooz it?


 * Wakko:
 * All work and no play!


 * Dot:
 * He chopped wood.


 * Yakko:
 * He chopped suey.


 * Wakko:
 * I pitched horseshoes and hay.


 * Yakko:
 * He milks jokes and cows for his fee.


 * Wakko:
 * It was more than I thought it would be!


 * All:
 * An entire's full-year salary?


 * Wakko:
 * And now I've got a ha'penny!


 * All:
 * He's got a ha'penny today!
 * He's got a ha'penny, hooray!


 * Yakko and Dot:
 * All those days of hard work
 * And here's your reward.


 * Wakko:
 * Now there's nothing in this world
 * That I can't afford!


 * Dot:
 * You can buy any toys you pick!


 * Yakko:
 * And eat candy until you're sick!


 * Tristesse:
 * Plus a gourmet meal for monsieur.


 * Yakko and Dot:
 * And still you'd never be poor!


 * All:
 * Because he's got a ha'penny today!
 * He's got a ha'penny, hooray!


 * Wakko:
 * Our water tower shanty we can finally repair!
 * I can even buy our brother some new underwear!


 * It's like I won the lottery!


 * All:
 * Because he's got a ha'penny!


 * Wakko:
 * I'll buy burgers at the butchers,
 * And blintzes at the bakers,
 * Groceries at the grocer's,
 * Season tickets for the Lakers!


 * Dr. Scratchansniff:
 * You can buy my new elixir!


 * Hello Nurse:
 * You can buy it by the bucket!


 * Dot:
 * There's just one little problem...


 * Yakko:
 * It's lousy! You should check it!


 * Wakko:
 * It's so hard to believe it really happened to me!
 * I'm goin' shoppin' with my ha'penny!


 * All:
 * He's going shopping with his ha'penny!

Encore

 * Cast:
 * He's got a ha'penny today!
 * He's got a ha'penny, hooray!
 * With it, he could buy himself a tropical cruise!


 * Wakko:
 * But first, there's one important thing that I have to choose.


 * My sister has been ailing quite a lot.


 * Yakko:
 * We don't exactly know what she has got.


 * All:
 * You plan to spend your ha'penny on what?


 * Wakko:
 * An operation to save my sister Dot!


 * All:
 * To cure whatever problems she's got!
 * An operation to save his sister, Dot!


 * Wakko:
 * It's a present to her from me
 * All because I've got a ha'penny!


 * All:
 * Because he's got a ha'penny!
 * In the village that's called Acme
 * He's going shopping,
 * So let's get hopping
 * He's going shopping with his ha'penny!

Reprise

 * All:
 * He's got two ha'pennies today!
 * He's got two ha'pennies, hooray!
 * No more worries or cares
 * While it may sound cliché,
 * It's the answer to our prayers
 * And no more taxes to pay!
 * Now it's back to the town of Acme
 * To go shopping with his whole penny!
