Best things in life are not free

But you don't need to have money

To get the things that you want to own

You just have to get a loan

When you buy, small or large

Just put it on your credit card

You can live like a king

Not paying for a single thing



Put it on credit and then forget it

Don't let it bother you no more, no more

Put it on credit and then forget it

And go back to the store



Every night I pray and thank

God above for creating the banks

They have been so kind to me

With their bounless generosity



If you cannot make your payments

Well, do like the national governments

And you can pay off what you owe

By taking out a bigger loan



You gotta put it on credit and then forget it

Don't let it bother you no more, no more

Put it on credit and then forget it

And go back to the store



Now I seem to have men after me

From the collection agency

And the bank came by the other day

Took everything I own away



Now I think that it is plain to see

That I must declare bankruptcy

But things aren't really all that bad

I can borrow from my dad



And put it on credit and then forget it

Don't let it bother you no more, no more

Put it on credit and then forget it

And go back to the store



You gotta put it on credit and then forget it

Don't let it bother you no more, no more

Put it on credit and then forget it

And go back to the store
