Just have to economise more
Without turning into a bore
Turned down the heating
Still have friends meeting

Just have to economise more
Without turning into a bore
Turned down the heating
Still have friends meeting
For coffee, one biscuit, not four

I’m stretching my purse way too far

I’m stretching my purse way too far
I cannot afford a new car

Or overpriced food

I’m stretching my purse way too far
I cannot afford a new car
Or overpriced food
But life is quite good
Things are fine just as they are

I love the colors of fall

I love the colors of fall
Yellow and burnt orange and all

Yellow and burnt orange and all
With walks in the park
To hear the skylark
And the black cat playing with the ball

This dreary day has brought the blues
Maybe I'll get some new shoes
I'd like them in red
And wear them in bed
That would probably make the News

It's good to be a bit quirky

It's good to be a bit quirky
I shouldn't have had all of that turkey

It's good to be a bit quirky
I shouldn't have had all that turkey
Still room for ice cream

It's good to be a bit quirky
I shouldn't have had all that turkey
Still room for ice cream
Got big in the beam

It's good to be a bit quirky
I shouldn't have had all that turkey
Still room for ice cream
Got big in the beam
For breakfast I'll have some beef jerky

Or maybe a bowlful of lettuce?

Or maybe a bowlful of lettuce?
As I do have a salad fetish

Or maybe a bowlful of lettuce?
As I do have a salad fetish
Not enough for me

Or maybe a bowlful of lettuce
As I do have a salad fetish
Not enough for me
I like a high tea

Or maybe a bowlful of lettuce
As I do have a salad fetish
Not enough for me
I like a high tea
And a glass of wine I relish

Either red or white wine will do

Either red or white wine will do
Later, a glass of Malibu

Either red or white wine will do
Later, a glass of Malibu

Later,a glass of Malibu
Don't mind if I do
Think I will have two
