專輯：Give 'Em Enough Rope
歌曲：Cheapskates
作詞：J.Strummer、M.Jones
I have been a washer up
An' he has been
a scrubber up
An' I seen him a picking up
Dog ends in the rain
An' he has never read a book
Though I told him to
take a look
He lifted his poolhall cue
For another game
But it ain't no
modern miracle
That we found the
golden rule
What you can't buy
you gotta steal
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
We're cheapskates
anything'll do
We're cheapskates
what are we supposed to do
An' we can rock
Hey hey let's roll
An' we can walk
An' do the stroll
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
