Story behind the song
This one was written as part of a huge project of 40 Epic songs, this one is one of the more popular writes on AmIRight. Special thanks are in order. Thank you RECISIO, the company that allows me to use their fantastic backing tracks for making this one and letting me use it. Check them out at karaoke-version.com. Special thanks to Matthias for putting this in the Epic 40 so that I'd have to parody it, turned out to be a fun song to parody. Special thanks to "Skittles" for inspiring the lyrics.
Lyrics
(Oh man) Huh? (I need help man) I can't help you man. (It's my mom's birthday) And I should help you? (I don't want to spend any money) That's you. . . (You got some cards, you know) Man (I don't wanna sound really cheap) But you know it's the truth (So what. . .) It's not that I don't care about my fam'ly Shoping makes my wallet sore Wal Mart's bliss, Sears is expensive, I can't shop there no more Oh wait just a second I could give her one of my C.D.s That way she'd think it's from the heart not that I am just being cheap **Friend** How can you buy paper for your hardcore lova Givin her a line about how you've been thinking of her You could buy her a watch or give her something worth a dolla Instead you went up to K mart and you bought her King Size Snicka To be a romantic now and then you have to pay One thing if you poor, but you make cash all day If you are too cheap she may slip away See the way that she's staring at her friend Jose **End Friend I could buy her pens and fake fur (You're Really Cheap) How about five dollar liqueur (You're Really Cheap) Order pizza if it will please her (That's Kinda Sweet) I'm not a very good tipper (Damn you are Cheap) Not much debt will I go incur (You're Really Cheap) Never hire a chauffeur (That's cause you're Cheap) Gotta show her I love her (Stop being cheap) But spending cash makes me suffer Christmas time is a good time for a night mare Spending time down at the store Dollar place, shopped for the whole office, I won't spend a dollar more Yes I tried to stop myself from going on a shopping spree But I spent two dollars on My honey buying something sweet **Friend** Why don't you head to the grocer to get a nice sweet cake-mix Instead of buying stupid stuff like them pixie styx If you were nicer to people it'd prevent rejects How you want a nice raise if you get your boss V-Necks You need to go change your ways and you need to change them fast You could step to flowers and the improvement would be mast Support breast cancer: while in that line It's only a dollar and all them girls won't look past **End Friend** I don't want to spend my dollar (You're Really Cheap) I see the ribbons on the counta (You're Really Cheap) Do you think they have something smalla (Stop being cheap) Like closer to a quarta (You're Really Cheap) So what if I'm no big spender (No, it's called Cheap) I just like legal tender (Why are you cheap) Cause my ego is slender (You're also weak?) I don't want debt to occur Honey came in and she dumped me on my butt Said my routine's gotten bored That Jose had bought her some jewelry, and she says she feels adored How could I be so cheap that I let her slip away from me Oh well I don't need her, in fact, now I'll save half my money Gonna sell all of the pictures that cover up my walls Spending money on big presents don't make no sense at all You won't catch me dead or alive at no damnshopping mall You may call me cheap or stingy, but I've more cash to ball So I'm still cheap So I'm single and I'm keeping my money Who's that knocking on my door Holy Christ, It is my old best friend, and he needs a place to snore We'll go to Red Lobster like we did when we were in our teens I guess I'm not too cheap I'm just not in love with that so called queen
