Charge It! Lyrics - Singles - 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 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 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]
