Kinks - Low Budget [Live] lyrics

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 twenty eight, but I take thirty four! 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 s** cigars, but now, I s** 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.
