Album: Low Budget

Cheap is small and not to steep
But best of all, cheap is cheap.
Circumstance has forced my hand
To be a cut-priced person
In a low-budget land.
Times are hard, but we?ll all survive.
I just gotta learn to economize.
I?m on a low budget!
I?m on a low budget!
I?m not cheap, you?ll understand;
I?m just a cut-price person in 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 a size 28, but I take 34!
I?m on a low budget! What did you say?
Yeah, 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.
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 goin? skin.
I used to suck cigars, but now, I suck Polo mints.
I?m on a low budget! What did you say?
Yeah, I?m on a low budget! I thought you said that.
I?m on a low budget!
I?m a cut-price person in 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 Low-budgetville, where nothing can last.
Money?s rare ? there?s none to be found,
So don?t think that 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 low-budget land
I?m on a low budget! Say it again.
Low budget. One more time.
Low budget.
