lyrics

You don't need a yacht or a private plane
I like to watch the clouds and hear the sound of the rain
It's the simple things that make me smile
So put away your wallet, and let's talk a while

I've got a cheap date, yessiree
Ain't spent a dime since '93
She's full of air and hasn't a care I like to run my hands through her plastic hair

She's not like anyone I've ever dated
She doesn't have an ego, she needs to be inflated
Her makeup never runs, and she doesn't like to drink
What she wants for Christmas, I don't even hafta think

I've got a cheap date, yessiree
Ain't spent a dime since '93
She's full of air and hasn't a care I like to run my hands through her plastic hair

If money is evil, she's good as gold
Just gotta clean her up, or else she'll start to mold
She can ride with me in the HOV lane
Or in the overhead compartment when we travel on a plane
She's my special girl. She really knows how to listen
And when I clean her off, oh my, how she glistens

Never sure how she's feeling, 'cause she's always got the same expression
Can't introduce her to my family, 'cause I don't think she'll make the best impression
Dont need a tissue. Don't need a sock
Her mouth is always open, but I never have to hear her talk

I've got a cheap date, yessiree
Ain't spent a dime since '93
She's full of air and hasn't a care I like to run my hands through her plastic hair
