When I was a young boy, way before I became a man
My papa gave me good advice: be as cheap as you can
Never pay for anything, that you can get for free
And if you save your pennies, you’ll wind up rich like me.
Cuz I’m a free—freeloader baby, and I don’t pay for anything
I’m the guy who pioneered the wedding crash
But I don’t come for the dancing, I come to save some cash
Kiss the bride, enjoy the meal, I’m always on the make
Toast the lovely couple, then I take the cake.
I like to stay with old friends, and friends I hardly know
I like a change of scenery, for about a week or so
Food always tastes better, and I love those mid-day naps
Life can be so wonderful, when you’re mooching off a chap
Cuz I’m a free—freeloader baby, and I don’t pay for anything
A free—freeloader baby, don’t pay for anything
It’s a lovely lifestyle, though heaven knows
It’s a little tricky finding free nice clothes
One day I decided to take until it hurts
I left the store dressing room wearing twenty shirts
Cuz I’m a free—freeloader baby, and I don’t pay for anything
I’m in jail now, but good lord, it’s free room and board
Cuz I don’t pay for anything
