Charge Plates and Credit Cards

With my charge plates and credit cards
Making my life hard
With my charge plates and credit cards
I know I can go far
Worked hard so many years
To get my references together
Paid all my bills right on time
And then my friends they told me better
I applied for master charge
A diners club and a visa
And now I’m buyin' everything in sight
I hear they’re selling «La Mona Lisa»
(repeat chorus twice)
American Express became
My green and white and black lover
Then one morning it turned to gold
And took good care of me, like big brother
When the master bills came in
I re-evaluated my spending
Now I’ve borrowed an assumed name
To see if any banks are still lending
(repeat chorus twice)
instrumental break
(repeat chorus to end)
