Thrifty Beatnik
Hello everybody! Today we're going to be talking all about clothes They say clothes maketh the man and I'm rough around the edges so I get them second hand I'm a Dapper Dan, mon capitan but I can hardly afford food, it might as well be Ramadan Not an Islamic man, but I belive in charity and that's the reason that I need my meagre salary to feed me calories I could eat a bag of sweets until my teeth have cavities and I'm in bleeding agony The reason for this allegory; cuisine-themed analogy is so you can see there's really not much cash left for vanity My malady's a lack of pounds and piece As an impoverished musician, food isn't guaranteed, apparently so my apparel needs value unlike the brands TV ads try and sell you
I don't want to be a walking billboard that's not what the reason that I walk this world's for I'd go out tonight but I simply can't decide what to wear Yes, I'd go out tonight but I simply can't decide what to wear I've just got too many nice clothes... Stuff from Oxfam? I've got lots, fam Enough to fill up a rather large box Pants? to tophats and shoes to socks Dan's the dude to rock that used luminous jockstrap Perusing the hotpants and choosing them off racks I don't mean to be rude but God damn, I'm hot, man I've got a bit of a tummy so this is fitting funny But I don't give a shit cos of how sick I'm spitting, dunny See me, I'm a thrifty beatnik, I got this whole outfit for fifty three quid Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com so if you need kit for a minimal fee, it's as simple as one click, two click, three click Fork out a little bit of moolah for new garms if anybody says it's not enough, they're chatting rhubard Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-a-Dee-Ay You want a dead fellow's wardrobe? Bid on eBay
I'd go out tonight but I simply can't decide what to wear Yes, I'd go out tonight but I simply can't decide what to wear I'm low on cheddar and so I'm going second hand 'til I compose a better plan for dressing, man Wearing a garish tracksuit with a pair of jackboots family staring, thinking 'Dan, where... is that you? I put myself on eBay, but the winner didn't pay me though I'm nearly at the stage that I'll be broke and made to sew I'd make my own clothes but I'm a lazybones Given my own way I'd stay in my baby grow until I weigh like eighty stone so whether you like eighties clothes or ladies' coats, get them second hand they're fresher than a daily show so get your daily dose of an amazing change of clothes you'll be smooth and razor sharp like using shaving foam I say stay away from those mainstream label trading posts Once I saw a tie twice the price of a stately home If you aren't on the gravy train so can't pour the gravy boat all over the pastry dough You know the place to go
I'd go out tonight but I simply can't decide what to wear Yes, I'd go out tonight but I simply can't decide what to wear
