Lyrics

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 look like a tramp, but don't write me off, i'll have you all know, i was once a tough, 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]
