I vote for plastic. Partly because I didn't in November. I like it, Q!

Aloha,
Mark

Try dragging out the "O" into "Ohhhhhhh." Then match the other first-line words to the last five notes of the first line of "Bethlehem."

Well, I like the effect, anyhow...

Ok, so how many more verses do we need then?

Guest just give three notes to 'credit.' (I agree, I think several improvements could be made).

Excellent song.
Excellent suggestion.
And we should probably change "over 12 percent" to "twenty-one percent." It scans and it's up-to-date.

maybe if it was "O Little Plastic Credit Card" it would actually fit the meter.

Sing only the last part now.

Lyr. Add: O LITTLE CREDIT CARD

(To be sung before Christmas)

O little credit card,
You bring me Christmas cheer;
Without your clout, I have no doubt
No gifts I'd give this year;
Your credit line allows me,
To run up bills quite large,
And when I'm through exhausting you,
I'll use my Master Charge.

(To be sung after Christmas)

O little Credit Card,
You bring me discontent;
I calculate your int'rest rate
Is over 12 per cent;
Each month you cry for payment,
My letter-box bombards;
I'm one more sap caught in your trap--
Next year I'll just send cards.

Anon. Tune- O Little Town of Bethlehem.
Credit Card Carol
