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
