Three coins in the fountain

Each one seeking happiness

(Thrown by three hopeful lovers)

(Which one will the fountain bless?)

 

Three hearts in the fountain

Each heart longing for its home

(There they lie in the fountain)

(Somewhere in the heart of Rome)

 

Which one will the fountain bless?

Which one will the fountain bless?

 

Three coins in the fountain

Through the ripples how they shine

(Just one wish will be granted)

(One heart will wear a valentine)

 

Make it mine!

Make it mine!

Make it mine!

Every time it rains it rains

Pennies from heaven.

Don't you know each cloud contains

Pennies from heaven.

You'll find yor fortune falling

All over town.

Be sure that your umbrella is upside down.

Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers.

If you want the things you love

You must have showers.

So when you hear it thunder

Don't run under a tree.

There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

God wants dollars

God wants cents

God wants pounds, shillings, and pence

God wants guilders

God wants Kroner

God wants Swiss francs

God wants French francs

God wants escudos

God wants pesetas

Don't send lira, God don't want small potatoes

 

What God Wants Part II By Roger Waters

Obviously, a song from the pre euro days!! The most coin references in one song that I know of.

I got a spring in my footstep - hot dog, I'm looking all right!

I got a burning feeling

Way down in my pocket tonight

Shakin' in my pants like thunder

Don't they just sparkle and shine

Traveling everywhere I go cause I love, love love

Nickels & dimes.

 

Some, they like folded money

Clipped tight like their fat neckties

Quarters they can take to the laundry

But I think they're just a bit outsized

Oooh, I gotta stick my hand down

I gotta touch them from time to time

Coolest little things I know, and I love, love, love

nickels and dimes.

 

Shiny as a red-hot coal

Smooth as a riverbed stone

My gal, she clutches a roll

Until I get her back home

Then she gives me five-cent kisses

Mmmm, and I like that kind

I can get a whole lot more

Cause I love, love love

Nickels and dimes.

Clean shirt, new shoes

And I dont know where I am goin to.

Silk suit, black tie,

They come runnin just as fast as they can

Coz every girl crazy bout a Eighteen-Ninety-Four S dime.

From Mary Poppins

 

Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's

The little old bird woman comes.

In her own special way to the people she calls,

"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs.

Come feed the little birds, show them you care

And you'll be glad if you do.

Their young ones are hungry,

Their nests are so bare;

All it takes is tuppence from you."

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,

Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.

"Feed the birds," that's what she cries,

While overhead, her birds fill the skies.

All around the cathedral the saints and apostles

Look down as she sells her wares.

Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling

Each time someone shows that he cares.

Though her words are simple and few,

Listen, listen, she's calling to you:

"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,

Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."

children's nursery rhyme

 

Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,

Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?

The king was in his counting house counting out his money,

The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey

The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,

When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!
