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 boundless 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
