| 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) |
