Master Charge by Albert Collins Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got my wife a charge card
Just the other day
I owe five hundred dollars
Just for yesterday
I said, "Honey, here's a present
Go out and shop around
Buy you a couple a-dresses
Browse around downtown"
She did just what I told her
Bought one, two, three
Came home lookin' silly
Makin' goo-goo eyes at me

[Chorus]
Mastercharge, I'll break an' bury her card
Mastercharge, I'll break an' bury her card
Mastercharge, I'll break an' bury her card
Oh yeah, charge it!

[Verse 2]
Said, "Did you get your dress?"
"Yes, one or two"
But I had me some shoes
I needed some jewelry, too"
She Two hundred dollar dresses
I could-a made, I can't sew
Fifty hundred shoes
I could call her a so and so
Said what about the jewelry as calmy as I could
She said "Honey, you will love em'
They are pure African wood"
[Chorus]
Mastercharge, mm, Mastercharge I'll break an' bury her card
Mastercharge, Mastercharge break an' bury her card
Mastercharge, break an' bury her card

[Bridge]
[Instrumental]
Oh yeah, charge it for me, charge it, baby!

[Verse 2]
"They were two hundred dollars and I paid just one and a half"
I just couldn't believe it
I'm so mad, I just had to laugh
I could see in my mind
On a horse like Paul Revere
Hate to check my mail boxes
'Cause these bills keep comin' here

[Chorus]
Mastercharge, Mastercharge break an' bury her card
Mastercharge, Master break an' bury her card
Mastercharge, break an' bury her card

[Outro]
You run up all my bills
Charge it
All she can said, charge
Let's charge it
All she said, oh let's charge it
Mastercharge, "oh I have a Mastercharge
Oh I have a [?] too
Mastercharge, oh won't you mastercharge it please"
Look you getting too much out of that
Let's charge it
