Cheapskates

[Verse 1] I have been a washer up And he has been a scrubber up And I seen him a picking up Dog ends in the rain And he has never read a 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, you gotta steal And what you say can't steal you better leave I don't like to hang about In this lonely room Because 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 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? 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? [?] [Verse 2] Just because we're in a group You think we're stinking rich And we all got model girls Shedding every stitch And you think the cocaine's flowing Like a river up our noses And 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 [Chorus] We're cheapskates anything'll do We're cheapskates what are we supposed to do?
