Cheapskates

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I have been a washer up And he has been a scrubber up And I've seen him a pickin' up Dog ends in the rain And he has never read the book Though I told him to take a look He lifted his pool hall cue For another game But it isn't no modern miracle That we found the golden rule What you can't buy, ya' gotta steal And what ya' can't steal ya' better not need [Verse 2] I don't like to hang about In this lonely room 'Cause London is for going out And tryin' to hear a tune But people come poncin' up to me And say, "What are you doing here You're supposed to be a star Not a cheapskate bleeding queer?" Like a load of rats from a sinkin' ship You slag us down to save your hip But don't give me the benefit of your doubt Because I'll bite it off and spit it out [Chorus] We're cheapskates anything'll do We're cheapskates, what are we supposed to do? [Post Chorus] And we can rock, hey hey let's roll And we can walk and do the stroll [Chorus] We're cheapskates, anything'll do We're cheapskates, what are we supposed to do? [Solo] [Verse 3] Just because we're in a group You all think we're stinkin' rich And we all got a'model girls Sheddin' every stitch And you think the cocaine's flowin' like A river up our noses And every sea will part for us Like the red one did for Moses Girl, I hope ya' make it one day Just like you always said ya' would some day But I'll get out my money and make a bet That I'll be seein' ya' down the Launderette [Chorus] We're cheapskates, anything'll do We're cheapskates, what are we supposed to do?
