Lyrics
Lovin' Over Budget
We live in an apartment
It's what we can afford
The jobs we have pay all the rent
Thank God and praise the Lord
The fact that we're employed and healthy
Makes us mighty proud
We're middle class - not sick or wealthy
And you can bet your bottom dollar
Our love is well endowed
Somehow we're livin' like
A king and queen
Without a big castle
Or buying a thing
And while we keep on livin' life
Within our means
We'll keep on lovin' over budget
Far beyond our wildest dreams
She likes to cut out coupons
He'd rather dicker down
We often stop to window shop
Before we go to town
On the day when we were married
We didn't wear expensive rings
We put a few bucks down for a bridal gown
Payin' pennies on the dollar
We ate cup cakes and got more things
Somehow we're livin' like
A king and queen
Without a big castle
Or buying a thing
And while we keep on livin' life
Within our means
We'll keep on lovin' over budget
Far beyond our wildest dreams
Go to auctions, save receipts and never buy cars new
Always hate it when we have to go in debt
Don't buy magazines that envy what the big stars do
Always looking for new ways to make do, yet
Sometimes when money's tight
And the soup is getting thin
Wouldn't it be nice
To roll in dough and waller
When our ship comes in!
For now we're livin' like
A king and queen
Without a big castle
Or buying a thing
And while we keep on livin' life
Within our means
We'll keep on lovin' over budget
Far beyond our wildest dreams
-Instrumental -
Go to auctions, save receipts and never buy cars new
Always hate it when we have to go in debt
Don't buy magazines that envy what the big stars do
Always looking for new ways to make do, yet
Sometimes when money's tight
And the soup is getting thin
Wouldn't it be nice
To roll in dough and waller
When our ship comes in!
Somehow we're livin' like
A king and queen
Without a big castle
Or buying a thing
And while we keep on livin' life
Within our means
We'll keep on lovin' over budget
Far beyond our wildest dreams
