Tom: A5
 
A5            F5
I have been a washer up  
    E5            C5
An' he has been a scrubber up  
    A5           F5
An' I seen him a picking up  
G5
Dog ends in the rain  
    A5           F5
An' he has never read a book  
E5                   C5
Though I told him to take a look  
   A5                  E5
He lifted his poolhall cue   
               G5
For another game
A5
But it ain't no modern miracle  
F5
That we found the golden rule  
E5
What you can't buy you gotta steal  
G5
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  
      C5         F5  C5
We're cheapskates anything'll do  
           A5              F5
We're cheapskates what are we supposed to do?  
G5             A5
An' we can rock
F5             E5
Hey hey let's roll  
C5          A5
An' we can walk  
F5          G5
An' do the stroll

A5  C5  F5  C5  F5  C5  F5  C5
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
