Low Budget Lyrics by Kinks

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 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 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]
