Funny song about a mismatch

Lyrics

Champagne Taste on My beer budget

I met her in a bar in new york city
I was playing guitar she was looking pretty
we grabbed a cab back to her eastside flat
and I found a reason to take off my coyboy hat


things went well when we stayed inside
but when we went out it was a little rougher ride
she spent my money like it grew on trees
my wallet couldn?t handle her spending spree

she's got champagne taste on my beer budget
i drink bud but she's having none of it
wants the finest china and crystal from france
I'll take a paper plate dixie cup romance


so I took her to a picnic on the lawn in central park
I brought the chicken and she brought caviar
right then I knew this love couldn?t last
I was rough cut and she was smooth as glass

Chorus

so I asked her how far she wanted go
she just laughed and said l don?t know
we packed up the chicken empty beer cans
and that was the end of my big ciity summer romance
