Lyrics
Opened the envelope, held it up high Numbers on paper, a little bit shy Not very much, but it's mine, it's mine I earned every penny of it, line by line First pay cheque, paper crown Dancing round the kitchen, turn it up, turn it down First pay cheque, I did that Hat on my head and a smile on my face, a little bit fat First pay cheque, paper crown Treat myself to something sweet in town First pay cheque, here I stand Small and proud with the money in my hand Bought a bag of oranges and a bar of soap Called my sister up and said, guess what, nope Not a fortune, but it's mine, it's mine Tastes like freedom, tastes like sunshine First pay cheque, paper crown Dancing round the kitchen, turn it up, turn it down First pay cheque, I did that Hat on my head and a smile on my face, a little bit fat First pay cheque, paper crown Treat myself to something sweet in town First pay cheque, here I stand Small and proud with the money in my hand Someday I'll earn a little more Someday I'll walk through a bigger door But today, today Is the sweetest day of pay First pay cheque, paper crown Dancing round the kitchen, turn it up, turn it down First pay cheque, I did that Hat on my head and a smile on my face, a little bit fat First pay cheque, paper crown Treat myself to something sweet in town First pay cheque, here I stand Small and proud with the money in my hand Paper crown First pay cheque
