Mr. Penny Pincher

(album: Hour Of The Wolf - 1975)

There goes Mr. Penny Pincher
Trying to make ends meet
Some kind of super human
Calculator

Providing for his family family
Is not an easy feat
Even though a conscientious
Money saver

He stays working overtime
Burning the midnight oil
Cutting every corner
In his never ending toil

There goes Mr. Penny Pincher
Running for the bus
The car is too expensive
To be driving

He reads the morning paper
But he leaves it in disgust
Because the cost of living
Keeps on rising

His dream of long vacations
And lazy carefree days
Grows even more impossible
With every bill he pays

Mr. Penny Pincher
You're on a downhill grade
'Cause living for the dollar
Is an account that's never paid

Mr. Penny Pincher
You're on a downhill grade
'Cause living for the dollar
Is an account that's never paid
