When I was very young grandad would always sing this song to the chorus goes. I've got sixpence, jolly jolly sixpence, tupence to spend, and tupence to lend and tupence to send home to my wife. Then there is a verse followed by a dimishing chorus. I've got sixpence, jolly jolly sixpence, tupence to spend and tupence to lend and nothing to send home to my wife.
This continues with a chorus inbetween until I've got sixpence jolly jolly sixpence, nothing to spend, and nothing to lend and nothing to send home to my wife.
Does anyone know the verse that goes inbetween?

For the terminally short of brain cells.
My grandad is dead.

I've Got Sixpence
I've got sixpence
Jolly. jolly sixpence
I've got sixpence to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend
And twopence to lend
And twopence to send home to my wife-poor wife.
CHORUS: No cares have I to grieve me
No pretty little girls to deceive me
I'm happy as a lark believe me
As we go rolling, rolling home
Rolling home (rolling home)
Rolling home (rolling home)
By the light of the silvery moo-oo-on
Happy is the day when we line up for our pay
As we go rolling, rolling home.
I've got fourpence
Jolly, jolly fourpence
I've got fourpence to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend
And twopence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife-poor wife.
I've got twopence
Jolly, jolly twopence
I've got twopence to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend
And no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife-poor wife.
I've got no pence
Jolly. jolly no pence
I've got no pence to last me all my life
I've got no pence to spend
And no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife-poor wife.

I was a kid when Leonard DePaul's men's chorus sang that in a tour concert in the late 1940s. I remembered the entire text, but have a difference here:
Happy is the day when the Army gets its pay as we go rolling, rolling home.
I woke up this morning with this going through my noggin'. !

In the 1940's. However, the words originated in a similar form in 1817 in a play Don Giovanni in London by Moncrief.

No cares have I to grieve me,
No pretty little girls to deceive me.
I m happy as a lark, believe me,
As we go rolling rolling home.
Rolling home (blind drunk)
Rolling home (blind drunk)
By the light of the sil-ver-y moo-oo-oon
Happy is the day when the soldier gets his pay
As we go rolling rolling home.

when we line up for our pay
and we go rolling, rolling home
