Charge It - Tim Curry

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)
