[Verse] Down by Grotto Bay, there's a man they call Cheap Jimmy, Likes his coffee free and his sandwiches skimpy. He’ll give you work, but don’t hold your breath for pay, Cheap Jimmy sure knows how to make you rue the day. [Verse 2] He'll smile and say, "Now, son, here’s a job for you," But when payday comes, it’s always overdue. A penny for your thoughts? He thinks it’s too high a rate, Cheap Jimmy’s motto: "Why buy when you can take?" [Chorus] Cheap Jimmy's world, it’s a world of get-for-free, Ain't no ten-cent bag gonna get bought by he. Cheap Jimmy’s way, well, it ain't a kind man's creed, His pockets full of nothing but his bottomless greed. [Verse 3] At the corner store, they laugh when Jimmy rolls by, "Here comes the man who can’t abide a buy." They see him coming and the coffee’s on the house, 'Cause it's quicker than the whining from that miser’s mouth. [Verse 4] A nickel saved is a nickel in his jeans, He’s the kind of fellow who’ll squeeze a bean, One time he bartered his watch for a free meal, Time ain't money, but a dollar’s too much to feel. [Chorus] Cheap Jimmy's world, it’s a world of get-for-free, Ain't no ten-cent bag gonna get bought by he. Cheap Jimmy’s way, well, it ain't a kind man's creed, His pockets full of nothing but his bottomless greed.
