                 F          C
I press my nose against the pane

              G      C
Of the little toffee shop

                F       C
Day after day I save my pennies

                G      C
To spend at the toffee shop

     Dm       F       C
Come Saturday morn at nine o'clock

  Dm           F          G
I stand on the cold stone street

  Dm          F        C
A penny every day that I have saved

   Dm    G         C        Dm  G  C
To buy myself some sweets

                     F       C
The nice little lady old and grey

             G   C
With glasses and shawl

                   F           C
Gives love away to good little boys

Who do as they are told

She's always telling stories

She couldn't buy the things that I can

For families in those days

With six pennies of my own

The sweets that I'll be taking home

Gobstoppers in my pockets

Brown sugar in my hand

Lollies you suck that last all day

And sugar that looks like sand
