SONG:Master Charge

My wife has a charge card
that i got her the other day,
i owe five hundred dollars
that's just for yesterday.
I said,
"honey, here's a present go out and shop around.
get a couple of dresses and browse around
downtown."
she did just what i told her,
bought one, two or three
then came home looking silly
making goo-goo eyes at me.
Chorus: (3x)
master charge
master charge
a bank of america card
I said, "did you get your dresses?"
she said, "yes, one or two,
but i had to get me some shoes and i needed
some jewelry too."
She had $200 dresses
that i could have made and i can't sowe!
fifty dollars pair of shoes
and i thought you so and so.
I said, "what about the jewelry?"
as calmly as i could.
she said, "honey, you'll love them. they're pure african wood."
(chorus) 3x
Let's charge it!
let's charge it!
She said, "they were $200 and i paid
one and a half!"
i just didn't believe it,
i was so mad i had to laugh.
I could see it in my mind
on a horse like paul revere
i check my mail box
'cause these bills keep coming here.
(chorus) 3x
Charge it!
let's charge it!
let's charge it!
