Tim Curry - Charge It lyrics

rate me

Well you can Telex my accountant

Call up Tele-Credit, too

I know they sent a monthly statement

But I never read it through

You say you won't accept my Visa

Or American Express

And the computer is suspicious

'Cause I've got no fixed address

Lady, that's a valid document

Check out the way I'm dressed

You know the way I'm feeling now

I'd take a lie-detector test

Paradise lost for capital gain

Traded for a ticket on the gravy train

I can amortize the cost with a minimum of pain

But I need it for a write off

Can't take another night off

You know I never carry change

I just Charge it

Where do I sign?

Charge it

Show me the dotted line

Charge It

I don't have the time to waste

Charge It

Oh don't mess around

Charge It

I've got to get downtown

'Cause I promised to deliver

To live up to the letter of the

Lord, I'm in a state of grace

[yeah baby angel]

Oh, oh!

Well, I've enjoyed us doing business

But I really must confess

This pompous attitute just isn't calculated to impress

There's a driver in my car outside

Who's easily distressed

Lady, when he's through with you

He's gonna leave your face a mess

Paradise lost for capital gain

Traded for a ticket on the gravy train

I can amortize the cost with a minimum of pain

But I need it for a write-off

Can't take another night off

You know I never carry change

I just Charge It

Where do I sign?

Charge It

Show me the dotted line

Charge It

I don't have the time to waste

Charge It...

[Oh, don't mess around]

Charge It

I've got to get downtown

'Cause I promised to deliver

To live up to the letter of the

Lord, I'm in a state of grace

[There's goes that [], babe]

[It's an equal opportunity there]

Charge It

Where do I sign?

Charge It

Show me the dotted line

Charge It

I don't have the time to waste

[Oh, don't mess around, babe]

[Don't mess around, babe]

Charge It

Where do I sign?

Charge It

Show me the dotted line

I don't have the time to

Charge It

[What is that?]

[A blue one, I don't have a blue one]

[A red one, I don't have a red one]

[Oh, just that gold one]

[I don't know, do they come in platinum?]

[whoa babe]

Where do I sign

[Maybe I can just make my mark]

[I don't know, do you read?]

[Are you literate, babe?]

[Are you numerate, babe?]

[Do you get laid, babe?]

[I don't carry green, it's just]

[It makes such a bulge in the pocket]

[You like the suit?]

[There's something in the piping in the back]

[I wanted to have changed]

[But my Spanish tailor didn't fly in last week]

[You know him? He's called Manuel]

[But he always makes the pocket so that if you put money in it]

[It looks so ugly]

[Oh, cash, baby]

[... cash anymore, babe]

[Oh, fine send for the manager]

[You can't be the manager]

[Are you kidding?]

[There's a serious problem in personnel]
