lyrics

(Chorus)
I can't afford the fancy things
This dinner's two-for-one
 
The bottom shelf is all you get
And these drinks are on your tab
(End Chorus)

Hey Honey, I know you like the finer things,
Fast cars, rock stars
And diamond rings
 
But it’s time to change teams,
‘Cause what I like to bring
Is an extra bus pass, with just enough cash
To ride with me
 
The wheels on the bus go round-and-round
While our feelings of lust are pound-for-pound
Out--weighing the balance in my bank account
 
But that goes without saying
I’m just glad we’re hanging out
 
I…
Love the way you rest your head on my shoulder
It's pretty amazing,
Since I just ran out of deodorant.
 
The love in the air
Overpowers the stench of my hair
You sit right there
Even though I’m worse for wear.
 
You’re in trouble now..
The bus stops right in front of KFC
And I’m treating you to a Double-Down
 
Well only half actually..
One chicken fillet for you
And one for me
 
No, no time wasting...

As I peel off each piece of bacon
The combination of cheeses
Has our taste buds quaking
 
The only decision you’ll be making
Before this delicious meal
Is Original Recipe or Grilled..
 
I, I...
Fill ya up right don’t I baby
I’m not uptight like those other guys baby
 
I know that you love me
Even though I’m not wealthy

Rich is the new ugly
Poor is the new sexy!
 
(Chorus)
I can't afford the fancy things
This dinner's two-for-one
 
The bottom shelf is all you get
And these drinks are on your tab
(End Chorus)
 
Barely 5-foot-9,
Skinny as a rail
Just as pale as a polar bear cub
But cuddly as well..
 
You can tell by my freckles,
I’m part ginger with no--soul
And I’m often getting heckled.
 
The bags under my eyes
Match my black, hooded sweatshirt
Got your heart beating so fast
That I bet your chest hurts..
 
Lets get to work..
No, wait I’m unemployed
No wallet, just a coin purse
And food stamps in these corduroys!
 
I’m so much better than the next man
Still rocking a beeper
Because I can’t afford a text plan
 
Approaching my mid-thirties
Looking like a 12-year old
Shoulder width of a woman
Vanity Fair’s new centerfold
 
This sunken-in look
Makes me your main-hotty
Same demeanor, same body
As Renton from Trainspotting
 
I know you love me
Even though I’m not healthy

Buff is the new ugly
Skinny’s the new sexy!
 
(Chorus)
I can't afford the fancy things!
This dinner's two-for-one!
 
The bottom shelf is all you get!
And these drinks are on your tab!
(End Chorus)
