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
