Low Budget |
Cheap is small and not too steep |
But best of all cheap is cheap |
Circumstance has forced my hand |
To be a cut price person in a low budget land |
Times are hard but we’ll all survive |
I just got to learn to economize |
I’m on a low budget |
I’m on a low budget |
I’m not cheap, you understand |
I’m just a cut price person in a low budget land |
Excuse my shoes they don’t quite fit |
They’re a special offer and they hurt me a bit |
Even my trousers are giving me pain |
They were reduced in a sale so I shouldn’t complain |
They squeeze me so tight so I can’t take no more |
They’re size 28 but I take 34 |
I’m on a low budget |
What did you say |
I’m on a low budget |
I thought you said that |
I’m on a low budget |
I’m a cut price person in a low budget land |
I’m shopping at Woolworth and low discount stores |
I’m dropping my standards so that I can buy more |
(Quality costs, but quality wastes |
So I’m giving up all of my expensive tastes |
Caviar and champagne are definite no’s |
I’m acquiring a taste for brown ale and cod roes) |
Low budget sure keeps me on my toes |
I count every penny and I watch where it goes |
We’re all on our uppers we’re all going skint |
I used to smoke cigars but now I suck polo mints |
I’m on a low budget |
What did you say |
Yea I’m on a low budget |
I thought you said that |
I’m on a low budget |
I’m a cut price person in a low budget land |
I’m on a low budget |
Low budget |
Low budget |
Art takes time, time is money |
Money’s scarce and that ain’t funny |
Millionaires are things of the past |
We’re in a low budget film where nothing can last |
Money’s rare there’s none to be found |
So don’t think I’m tight if I don’t buy a round |
I’m on a low budget |
What did you say |
Yes I’m on a low budget |
I thought you said that |
I’m on a low budget |
I’m a cut price person in a low budget land |
I’m on a low budget |
Say it again |
Low budget |
One more time |
Low budget |
(I might look like a tramp, but don’t write me off |
I’ll have you all know, I was once a toff |
At least my hair is all mine, my teeth are my own |
But everything else is on permanent loan |
Once all my clothes were made by hand |
Now I’m a cut price person in a low budget land |
I’m on a low budget |
I’ll have you all know |
We’re on a low budget |
I’m on a low budget) |
