Sample of Week 4 - Contest Lyrics Submissions

Slowly walking down the hall
Hoping that I will not fall
Watching where I place my steps
Knowing folks are placing bets
Please remind me of this and
I'll never get drunk again
 

Hello Mister Visa How do you do
how much money do I owe you
that's a lot I thought it was less
please put it on my American Express

Robin Peter to pay Paul
spending money I never saw
outta be against the law
Robin Peter to pay Paul

Hello Mister American Express
Yes I'm gonna pay my debt
but there's the house and the car
please put it on my Master Card

Robin Peter to pay Paul 
spending money i never saw
outta be against the law
Robin Peter to Pay Paul

Hello, Mister Master Card
you never saw a check bounce that far
Yes I'm gonna pay you from the loan
on the equity in my home

Robin Peter to pay Paul
spending money I never saw
outta be against the law
Robin Peter to pay Paul
 

I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known?
I trace the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
 

Sparkle, sparkle little gem,
Wonder whats got into him
Buying me this diamond now
After we have said our vows
Wait, just wait till I find out
What his remorse is all about!
Sparkle, sparkle little gem
Wonder whats got into him.......
 

Twinkle Twinkle Little Flea,
Why in the world did you jump on me?
Up so high in the tall, tall grass,
You jumped on me when I scratched my ass.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Flea,
Why in the world did you jump on me?
 

Life was so wonderful
Life was so great
Until those repo guys
Knocked at my gate

My house they've taken
My woman's all gone
Now there's a tow truck
Out there on the lawn

CHORUS
Please, Oh please mister
Don't take my truck
I work and I slave
But I can't make a buck
Times have been hard
I'm down on my luck
Please, Oh please mister
Don't take my truck

I'm down to nothin'
Livin' in fear
Next thing you know
They'll be takin' my beer

So send me more plastic
And then for awhile
I can return to
Livin' in style

CHORUS
Please, Oh please mister
Don't take my truck
I work and I slave
But I can't make a buck
Times have been hard
I'm down on my luck
Please, Oh please mister
Don't take my truck
 

I was sad for many years
I had cried so many tears
Now you've come to show the way
I can smile with you today
You have made my life complete
Lay my heart down at your feet
 

I wanted to stay
I wanted to play
I wanted to love you
I'm only this far
and only tomorrow leads the way
 

All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna

All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be
 

MY DADDY ALWAYS GAVE ME
EVERYTHING HE COULD
BUT THERE JUST WASN'T ALL THAT MUCH
MADE FROM CHOPPING WOOD
SO I DECIDED SOMEDAY
I'D FIND A WAY
TO BE A RICH MAN'S WIFE
I WAS AWFUL TIRED OF LIVING A POOR GIRL'S LIFE 

SO I HAD MY FUN AND FOUND SOMEONE
WHO SEEMED TO FIT THE MOLD
BUT APPARENTLY
THERE WERE A FEW THINGS I WAS NEVER TOLD 

chorus
HE'D SAY..THAT PLASTIC AIN'T ELASTIC
BETTER SLOW DOWN ON THEM BILLS
I KNOW YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY HONEY
BUT I FEEL KINDA ILL
YOU'RE BUILDING ME A MOUNTAIN 
OUTTA WHAT WAS A LITTLE HILL
THAT PLASTIC AIN'T ELASTIC
BETTER SLOW DOWN ON THEM BILLS 

I'D NEVER HAD A CREDIT CARD 
AND HE HAD THREE OR FOUR
I'D THINK I WAS PRETTY RICH
HEADING TO THE STORE
BUT EVERY TIME 
I'D COME BACK HOME
WITH A THING OR TWO OR MORE
HE'D YELL "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" 

chorus
HE'D SAY..THAT PLASTIC AIN'T ELASTIC
BETTER SLOW DOWN ON THEM BILLS
I KNOW YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY HONEY
BUT I FEEL KINDA ILL
YOU'RE BUILDING ME A MOUNTAIN 
OUTTA WHAT WAS A LITTLE HILL
THAT PLASTIC AIN'T ELASTIC
BETTER SLOW DOWN ON THEM BILLS 

I NEVER BOUGHT TOO MANY THINGS
UNLESS A  SALE WAS ON
AND THEN YOU KNOW I'D GET A FEW
BEFORE THEY WERE ALL GONE
SOMETIMES THE THINGS DIDN'T FIT JUST RIGHT
BUT I'M SURE I'LL LOSE SOME WEIGHT
AND SINCE THE SALE WILL END REAL SOON
I SURELY SHOULDN'T WAIT 

BUT I JUST CANNOT UNDERSTAND
THE WAY HE LOOKS AT ME
I'M ONLY BEING A WOMAN
DON'T LAY NO BLAME ON ME 

AND HE SAYS..... 

chorus
THAT PLASTIC AIN'T ELASTIC
BETTER SLOW DOWN ON THEM BILLS
I KNOW YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY HONEY
BUT I FEEL KINDA ILL
YOU'RE BUILDING ME A MOUNTAIN 
OUTTA WHAT WAS A LITTLE HILL
THAT PLASTIC AIN'T ELASTIC
BETTER SLOW DOWN ON THEM BILLS
