Mick Avory - Low Budget 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 s** 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 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)
