Full Lyrics
A penny is worth one cent,
A nickel is worth five.
A dime is worth ten cents,
A quarter twenty-five!
Count your coins and add them up,
See how much you've got!
Save them in your piggy bank,
You'll have a lot, a lot!
Money, money, learn to count,
Every penny, every amount!
Pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters too,
Counting money is fun to do!
About This Song
The Money Song is a practical educational tune that introduces children to the basic US coins and their values. Learning about money is an essential life skill, and music makes it approachable and memorable.
By associating each coin with its value through a catchy melody, children can more easily remember that a penny is one cent, a nickel is five, and so on. The song also introduces the concept of saving.
This song works great alongside hands-on activities with play coins or real change, helping children connect the abstract concept of value with tangible objects they can see and touch.
