The Kinks - Low Budget lyrics
[The Kinks - Low Budget lyrics]
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 Woolworths 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 suck 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)
