Lyr Add: O Little Credit Card

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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

Aloha,
