Intro: Riff 1, Riff 2, Riff 1, Riff 2, Riff 3
Verse 1:
FWell, I want to try and hold my head up high
In this busted-up Pinto truck conversion between the Cbroken concrete and the cloudy sky
Well, you hBbave to make an effort with me, can you mCake it look like you're cBbhauffeuring me?
F C F (Riff 3, Riff 1, Riff 2, Riff 3)
There's enough gas to get us home now if we glide
Verse 2:
When we Ftook this job I thought that you knew the deal
I told the boss we had a Mercedes-Benz but all we Cgot in our yard is a steering wheel
Well, I Bbcan't borrow this tuxedo much longer, well we Cmight have to cut and Bbsell your long hair
F C F (Riff 3)
I don't mind you wearing a wig, but I won't steal
Chorus 1:
Yeah, well, Bbhoney, we can't afford to look this cheap
We need to Bbmake it look like we're high class, so we'll Chaul ourself on, we can't be beat
I can't Bbhelp but wonder, this time next year, will we be Fdrinking Dom Perignon or Bbreheated beer?
F C F (Riff 3, Riff 1, Riff 2, Riff 3)
Well, honey, we can't afford to look this cheap.
Verse 3:
We have Fto keep up appearances as long as we can
There's too much to lose, our social status, well, our Cice machine, and our ceiling fan
And if they Bbfind out that we ain't real songwriters tChat we go Dutch on Bbcigarette lighters
WFe're gonna lose the paradCise that's in our hFands
Chorus 2:
Well, Bbhoney, we can't afford to look this cheap
Got an Bbimage to live up to, in the Cbest motel on Imposter Street
While the BbJones are waltzin off to dinner we Fglue old lotto tix together Ctryin to make us a winner
F C F (Riff 3, Riff 1, Riff 2, Riff 3)
Well, honey, we can't afford to look this cheap
