Have you ever been in debt? Your income slow, the budget set.
Are there days when you cant cope? And others when you live in hope.
Rumbling belly's, empty coffers, scouting round for special offers.
Two for one, not one for all? Equality and Justice!…bad call.
Got a job at the pauper mint, knew then I was really skint,
Poorer than a street church mouse, live in someone else's house,
Ages since I drove a car, shanksy's pony, wont get far.
See those people over there, loads'a money, it aint fair.
Volunteered to sell some blood, that did me no bloody good,
I'm the cream that missed the cat, got gazumped by a vampire bat.
Used to like a good night out, forgot now what that's all about,
Hard luck stories I wrote the list, bankrupted by a philanthropist.
Appealed one time to charidee, they didn't even notice me.
Tried some begging in the city, the tramp wasn't fooled, he showed no pity.
I don't need no swimming pool, or a Rolls Royce to look real cool,
Just a simple salad and a nice fetter, a mohair suit and a Lambretta.
