Lyrics

Oh, oh
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 a 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, yeah)
Oh, oh
Well, I've enjoyed us doing business
But I really must confess
This pompous attitude
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 a 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 plan
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?)
Charge it (A blue one? I don't have a blue one)
Charge it (A red one? I don't have a red one)
Uh, just that gold one
I don't know if they come in platinum
Oh, babe
Charge it
Where do I sign?
Charge it (Maybe I can just make my mark)
Charge it (I don't know, do you read?)
Charge it (Are you literate, babe?)
Charge it (Are you numerate, babe?)
Charge it (Do you get laid, babe?)
Charge it
Charge it (I don't carry green, it's just)
Charge it (It makes such a bulge in the pocket)
(You like the suit?)
Charge it (No, no there's, there's)
Charge it (There's something in the piping in the back I wanted to have changed)
Charge it (But my Spanish tailor didn't fly in last week)
Charge it (You know him? He's called Manuel, but he always makes the pocket)
Charge it (So that if you put money in it it looks so ugly)
Charge it (Oh, cash, babe, who has cash anymore, babe?)
Charge it
Charge it
Charge it (Oh, fuck it, send for the manager)
Charge it (Oh, you can't be the manager)
Charge it (No, no)
Charge it (Are you kidding? Oh, there's a serious problem in personnel)
