The Credit Card Song Lyrics by MadTV

2008

[Verse 1]
Senior year in high school I got a credit card
I racked up 80 grand in debt and paying it off was hard
So I ignored the notices that I got in the mail
The creditors came after me and I wound up in jail
[Chorus]
Why, oh why, did I get a credit card?
If I would've just paid in cash life wouldn't be so hard
Makes you kinda wonder why the credit companies
Would even offer credit to a high school kid like me
[Verse 2]
In order to survive in jail I joined a nazi gang
And then became the bitch to a big skinhead named Fang
During our prison riot the gang and I escaped
I sure don't miss the awful food or the shower rapes
Once we got out on the streets I thought it would be cool
To smuggle drugs from Mexico as a cocaine mule
Down in Tijuana I took a condom full of coke
I swallowed it and in my stomach that cheap rubber broke
I woke up two days later in a downtown L.A. street (downtown L.A. street)
I have no stomach lining now it makes it hard to eat (makes it hard to eat)
I don't have a job and I don't have shoes and socks
And Fang and I are living in a soggy cardboard box
[Chorus]
Why, oh why, did I get a credit card?
Without it I would not have been stabbed in the prison yard
It makes you really wonder why the credit companies
Send out applications to high school kids like me
