LSD was not referring to the drug LSD The British system used the abbreviations £ for pound, 's' for shilling and 'd' for pence. (L was £ sign libra) Shillings and pence (S solidus/shilling) (D Denarius pence) They are abbreviations for the Latin words libra, solidus and denarius, or LSD. You could say 'how much is that in LSD?'.Libra meant pound, solidus meant shilling and denarius meant penny. Solidus and denarius were Roman coins, libra was a Roman pound. The origins of pounds, shillings and pence go back to ancient times.

Bless you for clearing up much confusion! I heard this tune in the 1980's and always wondered how they knew about that drug in those times. Silly silly me
