Economy
The dishes sit all week in the sink
All in the cause of economy
My savings account is starting to shrink
All in the cause of economy
I’m buying all my food in bulk
All in the cause of economy
I’ve muscles like the incredible hulk
All in the cause of economy
I’ve started buying cheaper cuts
All in the cause of economy
There’s now a lot more ifs and buts
All in the cause of economy
I keep on getting indigestion
All in the cause of economy
A holiday is out of the question
All in the cause of economy
I keep my heating off ‘til late
All in the cause of economy
The electric bill will have to wait
All in the cause of economy
And all the time I hate to bitch
All in the cause of economy
When I see the fat cats getting rich
All in the cause of economy
