I met a girl I thought she was the answer to my prayers
Although her taste did seem a tad upmarket
She drove a Jaguar to match her graces and her airs
I didn’t even have the cash to park it
My little Morris Minor didn’t come up to the mark
Her looks told me it didn’t cut the mustard
Perhaps I should have stood up more to her snydey snark
But you know I’ve always been a cowardy custard..
She said my transport apparatus Was belittling of my status
She chose a car for me to buy and then
She said it was a classic But I said sorry I'm boracic
Slipped out the door and never saw her again

I’m cleaned out, I'm impecunious financially embarrassed
I'm strapped for cash bereft of funds I'm skint
I've empty pockets bankrupt, by bailiffs I've been harrassed
Without a bean I am boracic lint
I’m on my beam ands and my uppers and heading for skid row
I’m lacking any samples from the mint
I’ve no two coins to rub together, I’ve no moulah dontcha know
I’m stony broke - I am boracic lint
Chatting down the pub ‘bout how quick fortunes could be made
I guess I’d maybe had a glass too many
When a geezer with an aura of a rather dubious grade
Suggested ways to make a pretty penny
I shouldn’t have engaged with him, perhaps I led him on
So secrets of his dodgy deal he offered
I’d hate him to think he or his friends had been put upon
Once this dubious hand of friendship had been offered
He said it’s safe as houses Put your money where your mouth is
A disagreement here could lead to pain
As his gestures got more drastic I said sorry I’m boracic
Slipped out the pub and never went there again.
Chorus then:

Even if your starving you can’t touch me for a farthing
Don’t you think it’s time you took the hint
If I told you I had lolly I’d be speaking off my trolly
I have no financial involvement I feel the pinch I am insolvent
I think you know that I’m boracic
but keep it schtum and keep it tacit
Don’t you know that I’m boracic lint
