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 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 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
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 a cut price person in a low budget land
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 a cut price person in a low budget land
at least my hair is all mine
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
