Low Budget Songtext
von The Kinks

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 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
