The document is a song about love and how giving it away freely makes it multiply. It uses the analogy of a magic penny - holding it tight means having none, but lending and spending it means having many pennies rolling on the floor. The song encourages going dancing all night if a piper needs paying, because giving love away will result in having more love to give.
