CHORUS: Got free money But you have to pay
....................Free money But you have to pay
....................Shop till you drop
....................The American way
....................Got free money But you have to pay

From the sea to shining sea...
.....Got free money But you have to pay
Signing up for bankruptcy...
.....Got free money But you have to pay
Everyone's a card head, blind like a crack head
They send it in the mail Soon the house is for sale
Mastercard Visa pushin' to squeeze ya
Pre-approved by Amex for credit scamex

CHORUS: Got free money But you have to pay
....................Free money But you have to pay
....................Shop till you drop
....................The American way
....................Got free money But you have to pay

Late fee, Fi Fo Fum...
.....Got free money But you have to pay
I smell the work of a congressman...
.....Got free money But you have to pay
That card in the mail do make you feel comfy
Two jobs at Wal-Mart won't pay the monthly
Mama Mama did you come up short
The fine print -- read all about it in court

CHORUS

Use it lose it...
.....Got free money But you have to pay
It's all ours and we choose it...
.....Got free money But you have to pay
Buy buy buy before we die die die
Pay pay pay and get gray gray
Bumma Bumma Bumma gotta tow away the Humma
But don't worry none
Another credit card a-cumma

CHORUS
