Lyrics:
Budget, budget, it pays to have a budget!
You can get the most out of your money with a budget!

A budget is a plan for using money you earn!
Keeping track of where it goes is important to learn!
You need to stick to your decisions in the budget you've made!
So your money won't run out before the next time you're paid!
Now, income is for the money you get!
From a job like mowing lawns, or maybe walking a pet!
But you've also got expenses, so there's money to pay!
For the things you need and want, and you may give some away!
Budget, budget, it pays to have a budget!

Your budget shows the money you expect to bring in,
Compared with the amount you're intending to spend!
If your income is greater than expenses, hooray!
You've got a surplus, that's extra to spend or save!
But if your income is less than the expenses, you expect,
That's a deficit, a problem you'll need to correct!
By using money that you saved, or you can cut what you spend!
Or even borrow from someone who has money to lend!
(Here you go! Thank you, friend!)

If your income and expenses are exactly the same,
You've got a balanced budget, you may have heard the name!
A budget helps you plan for the spending you'll do!
So until you're paid again, your money carries you through!
And maybe you can keep a little extra, too!
Budget, budget it pays to have a budget!
You can make your dreams come true with a budget!
