That time of the season is upon us again. This is where some are encouraged to go in the hole, spend the rest of the year digging their way out only to repeat the cycle again the following year.
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 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
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
CHORUS

Heard this on the radio this morning and thought it fit the scenario.
