I went to the mall and I looked in all the stores
I saw a million things to buy and then a billion more
A computer game for Mother, a doghouse for my Dad
A cowboy hat with ribbons like none I'd ever had
I ain't got no cash to spare, I'm an artist and I starve
The clerk said, "No problem, Bud, just use your credit card"
I have to admit... it was tempting....
It's a shiny piece of plastic with a hollowgram on top
My very own personal number is gonna hook me up
Credit card
Oh, my credit card
Credit card
Please set me free
I took a trip through space, I rode a ship to Mars
I might have gone farther but fate was in the cards
I went up to the ticket booth -- "One way to Saturn, please"
I gave her American Express, she said, "We just take Visa"
I reached into my pocket but Visa wasn't there
I saw a little purple Martian go runnin' down the stair
with my credit card!
That's how I lost it --
honest....
I'm not personally
responsible for any
of these bills....
I mean, what would I
do with a psychic
defibrillation unit?
Or a
mugglethwumper? It ain't even my size....
It's a shiny piece of plastic with a hollowgram on top
My very own personal number always hooked me up
Credit card
Oh, my credit card
Credit card
Where can you be?
My bills they all come due on the first day of the month
Money money money -- they say I must pay up
I owe a lotta dough, I don't know where it went
It's all been on credit, I never saw a cent
I just lost my job and I'm not feelin' very well
But they say I gotta pay, they're gonna phone me up in Hell
at dinnertime....
every day....
But I know what I'll do
-- I'll use my credit
card!
A new one just came in
the mail
"Preferred Customer"....
2.9 percent until June --
25 percent thereafter....
But that's fair, ain't it?
That's what they pay me
on my savings account....
It's a shiny piece of plastic with a hollowgram on top
My very own personal number, it always hooks me up
Credit card
Oh, my credit card
Credit cards
They're buryin' me
Maybe I'll get
a Debt Consolidation Loan....
It must be a good deal --
I saw it on TV....
Right next to the Home
Shopping Network....
Judge Judy....
One easy payment every
month....
All I have to do is take
out a second mortgage
on the house....
But that's okay -- I can
always sleep in the
streets....
At least I'll have
company....
Credit card
Oh, my credit cards
I'm a credit card slave
Please, Father Abraham, set me free
