[Verse 1]
A
Cheap is small and not too steep

   E              A
But best of all cheap is cheap

A
Circumstance has forced my hand

   E                           A
To be a cut price person in a low budget land

D                        A
Times are hard but we'll all survive

  E                     A
I just got to learn to economize
[Chorus]
         A
I'm on a low budget

         E          D A
I'm on a low budget

A
I'm not cheap, you understand

          E                       C          A
I'm just a cut price person in a low budget land
[Verse 2]
A
Excuse my shoes they don't quite fit

      E                            A
They're a special offer and they hurt me a bit

A
Even my trousers are giving me pain

     E                             A
They were reduced in a sale so I shouldn't complain

D                              A
They squeeze me so tight so I can't take no more

        E              A
They're size 28 but I take 34
[Chorus]
         A
I'm on a low budget - What did you say

         E              D                 A
I'm on a low budget - I thought you said that

A
I'm on a low budget

          E                       C          A
I'm just a cut price person in a low budget land
[Verse 3]
A
I'm shopping at Woolworths and low discount stores

    E                               A
I'm dropping my standards so that I can buy more

A
Low budget sure keeps me on my toes

    E                       A
I count every penny and I watch where it goes

D                         A
We're all on our uppers, we're all going skint

    E                                 A
I used to suck cigars but now I suck polo mints
[Chorus]
         A
I'm on a low budget - What did you say

         E              D                 A
I'm on a low budget - I thought you said that

A
I'm on a low budget

          E                       C          A
I'm just a cut price person in a low budget land

         A
I'm on a low budget

E          C  D
Low budget

A          E   D  A
Low budget
[Verse 4]
A
Art takes time, time is money

   E                      A
Money's scarce and that ain't funny

A
Millionaires are things of the past

   E                        A
We're in a low budget film where nothing can last

D                A
Money's rare, there's none to be found

      E                        A
So don't think I'm tight if I don't buy a round
[Chorus]
         A
I'm on a low budget - What did you say

         E              D                 A
I'm on a low budget - I thought you said that

A
I'm on a low budget

          E                       C          A
I'm just a cut price person in a low budget land

A
I'm on a low budget - Say it again

  E            D         A
Low budget - One more time
[Verse 5] (On Live Album)
A
I might look like a tramp, but don't write me off

     E                         A
I'll have you all know, I was once a toff

A
At least my hair is all mine, my teeth are my own

    E                     A
But everything else is on permanent loan

D               A
Once all my clothes were made by hand

        E                        A
Now I'm a cut price person in a low budget land
[Chorus]
         A
I'm on a low budget - What did you say

         E              D                 A
I'm on a low budget - I thought you said that

A
I'm on a low budget

          E                       C          A
I'm just a cut price person in a low budget land

A
I'm on a low budget - Say it again

  E            D         A
Low budget - One more time
[Outro]
A          E  A  C  A  E  D A
Low budget
