Cheapskates

Am            F 
I have been a washer up   
    Em            C 
An' he has been a scrubber up   
    Am           F 
An' I seen him a picking up   
G 
Dog ends in the rain   
    Am           F 
An' he has never read a book   
Em                   C 
Though I told him to take a look   
   Am                  E 
He lifted his poolhall cue    
               G 
For another game 
Am 
But it ain't no modern miracle   
F 
That we found the golden rule   
E 
What you can't buy you gotta steal   
G 
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   
      C         F  C 
We're cheapskates anything'll do   
           Am              F 
We're cheapskates what are we supposed to do?   
G             A 
An' we can rock 
F             E 
Hey hey let's roll   
C          Am 
An' we can walk   
F          G 
An' do the stroll   
   
(Middle) A  C  F  C  F  C  F  C 
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
