Well I came outta Christmas broke

And wondering why

Every year we squeeze out the cheese

Why'd I have to go in debt to say how much I love you

I coulda shown it more through the year

Now you got a pair of sneakers half an inch too big

I'm lookin' at my wallet and cryin'

Yet all the world will get together over this jig

Because it's proper and a comfortable life

I got a little bonus and it's nothin' to brag

From somebody more well off than me

It's apparent in society to show how much I love you is by participating in the schemes

Thought I'd use up all that bonus just to pay off some bills

Now wouldn't you like do the same?

But all the world will get together over this thrill

Oh ain't it funny it ain't money to blame?

Hell it ain't like me to be a cheap SOB

But only if I like you a lot

Outta money aw rats

Just me and my cats

And a reminder from the DWP

December rolled around and I'm stuck in California

Where the cost of living is high

I don't know what's made my home so greedy and so mucky

With the holidays and rent on the rise

Every year the pressure on me doubles the push

I know I'm not alone in the grind

And all the world will get together over this mush

I'm talkin' 'bout a means to survive

Hell it ain't like me to be a cheap SOB

But only if I like you a lot

Outta money aw rats

Just me and my cats

And a reminder from the DWP

Outta money aw rats

Just me and my cats

And a reminder from the DWP

I'm outta money aw rats

Just me and my cats

And a reminder from the DWP
