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
‘Cause 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 hasn’t got a milling, it’s seven-sided and a half a quid
With a half and a one and two new pence, dеcimal shopping will commence
Then wе’ll have… decimalisation, decimalisation
Soon it’s gonna be time to change the money round
‘Cause we’ve got… decimalisation, decimalisation
There’s a hundred new pennies now for every pound
Gone are the days when twelve old pence added up to make a shilling, not much sense
The half crown too has gone for good – a coin that foreigners never understood
Now some people who were feeling very bright have put their heads together just to make things right
They have made it easy for every citizen, ’cause 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
‘Cause 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
‘Cause we’ve got… decimalisation, decimalisation
There’s a hundred new pennies now for every pound
