Cheapskates - Remastered

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
