Cheap Skate

POCKETS TURN INSIDE OUT.LINT BALLS
FALL RIGHT OUT...A NIGHT OUT WITH
YOU IS WITH COUPONS AT MICKEY D'S.
ASKING THE CLERK TO SUPER SIZE A
TAKEOUT MEAL.

CHEAP SKATE:THE FLOWERS I RECEIVE WERE
FROM THE CEMETERY DOWN THE STREET.IT
SLIP YOUR MIND TO TEAR AWAY THE NOTE 
THAT SAID "FAREWELL CAROL" HOW DEAR 
YOU STEAL FROM THE DEAD.

CHEAP SKATE: YOUR CELL PHONE IS PREPAID,
AND YOU HARDLY HAVE ANY MINUTES TO SPARE. 
IT'S HELLO,GOODBYE,SEE YA SOON.

CHEAP SKATE: ALWAYS UP IN MY FACE. NEVER
WANTING TO GO HOME.WEARING OUT WELCOME HAS
TO END.

CHEAP SKATE:I'M AFRAID TO TAKE YOU AROUND MY
FAMILY. TO SAVE MYSELF FROM THE EMBARRASSMENT.
I'LL JUST MEET YOU AT THE MALL. SINCE YOU 
HAVE LIMITED MINUTES ON YOUR PREPAID CELL PHONE.

CHEAP SKATE:I DON'T MIND PAYING SOMETIMES OR
EVEN GOING DUTCH....BUT YOU'RE TOO CHEAP FOR 
ME. A MAN ALWAYS CRYING BROKE.PLESE! LEAVE
ME ALONE. I TRIED TO BE PLESANT. THIS PROJECT
IS TO BIG FOR ME.A MAN BEGGING FOR MONEY THIS 
CAN NOT BE.....I HAVE TO FEED YOU WITH A LONG
HANDLE SPOON BECAUSE YOU'RE A CHEAP SKATE......
