Every day after lunch at school,

I treat myself to an ice cream sandwich.

At 50 cents apiece, that comes to
two and a half dollars every week.

But that's OK, I got five dollars left.

I'm still ahead of the game.
I start with...

♪ Seven-fifty at the top ♪

♪ My favorite bubble gum
Is sixty cents a pop ♪

♪ I got to choose and plan
And do the best I can ♪

♪ I think I'm going to have
To learn to shop ♪

♪ By just comparing prices
I could save a lot ♪

My allowance is gone
And I am broke.

Well, there goes my allowance.

I didn't plan ahead,
I made some bad choices,

and I compared prices too late.
