[Verse 1]
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 gotta learn to economize
[Chorus]
I’m on a low budget
I'm on a low budget
[Verse 2]
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 reducеd in a sale so I shouldn't complain
They squeeze mе so tight so I can't take no more
They're a size 28 but I take 34
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
I'm shopping at Woolworths 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 going skint
I used to suck cigars but now I suck polo mints
[Chorus]
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 on a low budget
Low budget
Low budget
[Verse 4]
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 that I'm tight if I don't buy a round
[Chorus]
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)
