The Credit Card Song

[00:03.30] Well, I guess this story must begin
[00:05.54] That fateful day a way back when
[00:07.62] I decided I should have a credit card
[00:11.47] So I filled out this application
[00:13.61] Listed all my recommendations
[00:15.73] Sent it off in the mail
[00:17.32] And in a month or so the mailman brought me my brand new charge-all card
[00:22.83] Better than checks, safer than money, and not near as dirty!
[00:29.31] Well it laid around for a couple of days
[00:31.54] And finally I thought "What the hay?
[00:33.88] Why not see if this thing'll really work!"
[00:37.40] So I went down to my favorite store
[00:39.88] Picked out three or four shirts or more
[00:41.98] A pair of pants and a strip-ed tie
[00:44.05] And the man came by and said:
[00:45.14] "Yes Sir, cash or charge?"
[00:47.79] I said: "Just put it on my credit card
[00:50.44] Write that dude up! Ahhh, convenient!"
[00:56.01] Now I put that card away in a drawer
[00:58.09] And I never charged one dollar more
[01:00.05] Then one day in the mail I got this bill
[01:03.62] Typed on a card all full of holes
[01:06.12] That says do not staple, bend or fold
[01:08.04] Was the astronomical figure of thirty-two hundred dollars and forty-two cents... When!
[01:14.48] There's been a mistake!
[01:16.74] So I got on the phone... "Hello? Hello?"
[01:20.79] I got Mr. Black and Mr. Brown
[01:24.14] And then I got the run-a-round
[01:26.24] 'Til finally Mr. Green came on the line
[01:30.29] I said "Sir, this may be hard to take
[01:32.19] But your computer's made a mistake
[01:34.55] It says I owe more money than I've ever seen"
[01:36.84] And he said "People like you make mistakes
[01:40.31] Computers do not lie
[01:42.63] Send us the bread. PDQ!"
[01:48.16] Well this had just about done me in
[01:50.45] So I grabbed that computer card again
[01:52.35] The one with all those holes punched out so nice
[01:56.00] And I threw it on the floor and I stomped it twice
[01:58.16] And then I whipped out my pocket knife
[02:00.00] And punched out a few more holes where there hadn't been no holes before
[02:03.99] And I bent it double...
[02:05.96] Stapled it across the end...
[02:08.48] Drove my car over it...
[02:10.47] Stick that up your computer!
[02:14.52] I sent her back in and never heard no more
[02:16.22] 'Til one day the mailman came to the door
[02:18.47] With a special delivery from the charge-all place
[02:22.26] Inside was a note from Mr. Green
[02:23.94] Said: "We ran your card through our machine
[02:26.37] And it tells us that you overpaid your bill!
[02:28.62] Enclosed is a check payable to you...
[02:32.06] For nine thousand dollars!
[02:35.08] We appreciate your business"
[02:40.36] Well I got back on the phone again, called Mr. Green
[02:43.05] And he was I,
[02:44.33] And I said: "I think there is something you should know"
[02:48.04] Then I told him what the computer had done
[02:50.30] And I said "Just remember, you're the one...
[02:53.28] That told me computer's do not lie
[02:57.54] Thank you!
