Was this song just a figment of my imagination?

I believe this song is a product of the early 80's. The title is (I'm a )Cheap Date. I want to find the name of the band and the year it was made but I've yet to even find someone who's heard it before! It wasn't that obscure of a song. Here are some of the lyrics in hopes that it will ring a bell. Thanks for your help.

Well, hey, Junior, it's me again

I ain't seen you around

Well now, where you been?

Where you been?

Got the key to my old man's Ranchero

Gonna take it for a spin

You know now

Won't cost you a cent

Cuz I'm a cheap date

Won't cost you a cent

Cuz I'm a cheap date

Now, whaddya say (Joan/Joe?)

I heard that your daddy died

That's why I thought to call

I wanted to say I'm sorry

Six stories was a long way to fall

Well, hey, Junior, he's gone now

Six months in the grave

Let that memory go

Let it go.....

[Brian]
