F
When we took this job I thought that you knew the deal
F
I told the boss we had a Mercedes-Benz
C
but all we got in our yard is a steering wheel
Bb
Well, I can't borrow this tuxedo much longer
F Bb
Well, we might have to cut and sell your long hair
F C F
I don't mind you wearing a wig, but I won't steal
Bb
Yeah, well, honey, we can't afford to look this cheap
Bb
We need to make it look like we're high class,
C
so we'll haul ourself on, we can't be beat
Bb
I can't help but wonder, this time next year,
F Bb
will we be drinking Dom Perignon or reheated beer?
F C F
Well, honey, we can't afford to look this cheap.

F
We have to keep up appearances as long as we can
F
There's too much to lose, our social status,
C
well, our ice machine, and our ceiling fan
Bb
And if they find out that we ain't real songwriters
F Bb
That we go Dutch on cigarette lighters
F C F
We're gonna lose the paradise that's in our hands
Bb
Well, honey, we can't afford to look this cheap
Bb
Got an image to live up to here
C
In the best motel on Imposter Street
Bb
While the Joneses are waltzing off to dinner
F
We're gluing old lottery tickets together
Bb
Trying to make us a winner
F C F
Well, honey, we can't afford to look this cheap
