My Credit Didn't Go Through

(album: Burglar - 1974)

Car needs a tune up
Mama need teeth
TV won't play
The house roof leaks
My wife need a new coat
My kid need shoes
My woman in the streets
She wants new things too

(Lemme tell ya) I don't wanna get out of bed no more
(Lemme tell ya) My credit didn't go through
What am I gonna do
My credit didn't go through
What am I gonna do

The money that I'm making
I don't ever get it
If I save it
The tax is gonna take it
Please, credit manager
Give me a break
I'll pay my bills this time
If there's a [?]

Getting over the hump it just won't come true
(Lemme tell ya) My credit didn't go through
What am I gonna do
Credit didn't go through
What am I gonna do

I've been down to the pawn shop
I even had to sell my box
Nothing but good luck
I'll keep me off the hard stuff

Getting over the hump is so hard to do
My credit didn't go through
What am I gonna do
My credit didn't go through
What am I gonna do
