Kinks - Low Budget lyrics

Cheap is small and not too steep<br>But best of all cheap is cheap<br>Circumstance has forced my hand<br>To be a cut price person in a low budget land<br>Times are hard but we'll all survive<br>I just got to learn to economize<br><br>I'm on a low budget<br>I'm on a low budget<br>I'm not cheap, you understand<br>I'm just a cut price person in a low budget land<br>Excuse my shoes they don't quite fit<br>They're a special offer and they hurt me a bit<br>Even my trousers are giving me pain<br>They were reduced in a sale so I shouldn't complain<br>They squeeze me so tight so I can't take no more<br>They're size 28 but I take 34<br><br>I'm on a low budget<br>What did you say<br>I'm on a low budget<br>I thought you said that<br><br>I'm on a low budget<br>I'm a cut price person in a low budget land<br><br>I'm shopping at woolworth and low discount stores<br>I'm dropping my standards so that I can buy more<br><br>[quality costs, but quality wastes,<br>So I'm giving up all of my expensive tastes.<br>Caviar and champagne are definite no's,<br>I'm acquiring a taste for brown ale and cod roes ]<br><br>Low budget sure keeps me on my toes<br>I count every penny and I watch where it goes<br>We're all on our uppers we're all going skint<br>I used to smoke cigars but now I suck polo mints<br><br>I'm on a low budget<br>What did you say<br>Yea I'm on a low budget<br>I thought you said that<br>I'm on a low budget<br>I'm a cut price person in a low budget land<br>I'm on a low budget<br>Low budget<br>Low budget<br><br>Art takes time, time is money<br>Money's scarce and that ain't funny<br>Millionaires are things of the past<br>We're in a low budget film where nothing can last<br>Money's rare there's none to be found<br>So don't think I'm tight if I don't buy a round<br><br>I'm on a low budget<br>What did you say<br>Yes I'm on a low budget<br>I thought you said that<br>I'm on a low budget<br>I'm a cut price person in a low budget land<br>I'm on a low budget<br>Say it again<br>Low budget<br>One more time<br>Low budget<br><br>[i look like a tramp, but don't write me off,<br>I'll have you all know, I was once a tough<br>At least my hair is all mine, my teeth are my own,<br>But everything else is on permanent loan.<br>Once all my clothes were made by hand,<br>Now I'm a cut price person in a low budget land.<br>I'm on a low budget<br>I'll have you all know<br>We're on a low budget<br>I'm on a low budget]
