Decimalisation!

A song way back from the 70s, about the money change which was known as "Decimal Day", in 1971.


Here are the lyrics!
Please be warned a few words may be slightly wrong, but I couldn't find any lyrics on the internet so I had to write them out by listening to the song.





D-E-C-I-M-A-L-I-S-ation!
We call it
Decimalisation, decimalisation
Soon it's gonna be time to change the money round
Cos we've got
Decimalisation, decimalisation
There's a hundred new pennies now for every pound

Five new pennies are like a shilling
And ten new pence is a two-bob bit
A fifty pence piece and you've got a million
Seven sided and a half a quid
With a half and a one and two new pence
Decimals shall soon commence

Then we'll have
Decimalisation, decimalisation
Soon it's gonna be time to change the money round
Cos we've got
Decimalisation, decimalisation
There's a hundred new pennies now for every pound

Gone off the days with twelve old pence
Adding up to make a shilling, not much sense
The half pound too has gone for good
A coin that foreigners never understood
Now some people who are feeling very bright
Have put their heads together to make things right
They have made it easy for every citizen
Cos all we have to do is count from one to ten

We call it
Decimalisation, decimalisation
Soon it's gonna be time to change the money round
Cos we've got
Decimalisation, decimalisation
There's a hundred new pennies now for every pound

We call it
Decimalisation, decimalisation
Soon it's gonna be time to change the money round
Cos we've got
Decimalisation, decimalisation
There's a hundred new pennies now for every pound!


Hope you like the song!
Love,
