By Ima B. Cheap, Professor of Penny-Pinchinâ
[Verse 1]
Well Ima B. Cheap was a budget queen,
Clippinâ those coupons since she was thirteen.
She could sniff out a sale from a mile away,
And reuse foil âtil it walked away. đ§»
She said, âFolks, Iâve got the frugal knack,
I iron my Ziplocs and I ainât lookinâ back.
But why should I save all the tricks for me?
Letâs start a schoolâcall it Cheap Degree!â đ
[Chorus]
đ¶ Welcome to Cheap 101,
Where the savings are high and the tuitionâs none!

With majors in Thrift and Coupon Compliance!
Forget Ivy League, weâve got Clearance Racksâ
Professor Cheapâs got your walletâs back!
So grab your binder and a dollar store pen,
Class is in sessionâletâs save again! đ¶
[Verse 2]
She teaches how to stack deals like a lasagna,
Uses toothpaste for wall art (I kid you not, ya).
Turn old socks into trendy puppets,
And shampoo samples into stocking stuffets! đ
She said, âFree doesnât mean youâre broke or lazy,
It means youâre smart, and maybe a little crazy.
I got a PhD in BOGO math,
And I studied hard on the budget path!â đ§ đž
[Chorus]
đ¶ Welcome to Cheap 101,
Where every lesson is a frugal one!
From ramen hacks to birthday perks,
And how to make shoes outta duct tape and shirts!
Forget student loans and fancy dorm bedsâ
Weâve got yard sale chairs and noodle threads.
So sharpen your scissors and your wit real fast,
Ima B. Cheap is teachinâ class! đ¶
[Bridge]
Now students come from near and far,
Some ride the bus, some push a cart.
They all leave with a degree in deals,
And a wallet fatter than their four-course meals! đœïž
[Final Chorus]
