Charge Plates and Credit Cards - Sheila

With my charge plates and credit cards

Making my life hard

With my charge plates and credit cards

I know I can go far

Worked hard so many years

To get my references together

Paid all my bills right on time

And then my friends they told me better

I applied for master charge

A diners club and a visa

And now I’m buyin' everything in sight

I hear they’re selling «La Mona Lisa»

(repeat chorus twice)

American Express became

My green and white and black lover

Then one morning it turned to gold

And took good care of me, like big brother

When the master bills came in

I re-evaluated my spending

Now I’ve borrowed an assumed name

To see if any banks are still lending

(repeat chorus twice)

instrumental break

(repeat chorus to end)
