The Budget Rap

If you like budgeting and/or music and/or anything that's funny and AWESOME, this song's for you. Courtesy of my new best friend, Kate, who sent it over to me last week. I think the world needs to hear it: The lyrics are below if you're at work or don't have any speakers hooked up or something... [Fair warning though - it's catchy!]

"Money on My Mind" Budget Song

By Microphone Jones

I've got a budget, budget... ba-budget, budget... ba-budget, budget... ba-budget And you know I love it, love it... love it, love it... gotta budget, budget... ba-budget (oh!) My greatest challenge to keep my bank balanced as a college student I don't get no allowance. For food, clothes, transportation, I got to plan right to reach my destination. Be frugal with my money; don't go spending it out on them honeys. When I get real hungry, gotta think with my head, and not my tummy. Take a step, step back, look into my bank to see where my money at (where my money at) is it high or low. I can check online when I'm on the go. And it's really helpful, when I'm on the go Stick to my schedule and track where my money goes. I've got a budget, budget... ba-budget, budget... ba-budget, budget... ba-budget And you know I love it, love it... la-love it, love it... I've gotta budget, budget... ba-budget (oh!) I've got a budget, budget... ba-budget, budget... ba-budget, budget... ba-budget So I don't covet, covet... covet, covet... I've got a budget, budget ba-budget, (oh!) Put your hands up give me all your money That's what it's like being in this economy So you got to be extra careful Not to spend all your money on things regretful. Sell that old PC, and all those other little things you don't need That's my strategy, I got to think creative, and save for emergencies. I've got a budget, budget... ba-budget, budget... ba-budget, budget... ba-budget And you know I love it, love it... la-love it, love it... I've gotta budget, budget... ba-budget (oh!)
