clueless don Origins: I've Got Sixpence, Jolly, Jolly Sixpence (53* d) RE: Origins: I've Got Sixpence, Jolly, Jolly Sixpence 15 Jul 20


The version I learned in the late 50s/early 60s was pretty much the same version quoted (way) above from the DT. Variations I recall include "no sexy little girls","rolling home (get drunk!), rolling home (get drunk!)" and "Happy is the day when the counselors get their pay", the latter being camp counselors.

Oddly enough, when I type "I've got six pence" in the search box, I get no DT results. Presumably because it's "sixpence" rather than "six pence".
