Cheapskates lyrics
I have been a washer up
An he has been a scrubber up
An I seen him a picking up
Dog ends in the rain
An he has never read a book
Though I told him to take a look
He lifted his poolhall cue
For another game
But it ain t no modern miracle
That we found the golden rule
What you can t buy you gotta steal
An what you say can t steal you better leave

I don t like to hang about
In this lonely room
Cos london is for going out
And trying to hear a tune
But people come pouncing 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 sinking ship
You slag us down to save your hip
But you don t give me the benfit
Of your doubt
Cos I ll bite it off and spit it out

We re cheapskates anything ll do
We re cheapskates what are we supposed to do?
An we can rock
Hey hey let s roll
An we can walk
An do the stroll

Just because we re in a group
You think we re stinking rich
N we all got model girls
Shedding every stitch
N You think the cocaine s flowing
Like a river up our noses
N every sea will part for us
Like the red one did for Moses

Well I hope you make it one day
Just like you always said you would some day
And I ll get out my money and make a bet
That I ll be seein you down the launderette
