Visa Christmas
Dashing through the crowds,
All those bargains on display...
Over our limit we will go,
Shopping night and day...
Alarm bells will start to ring,
In the late hours of the night...
What have I done with this plastic thing,
It is giving me a fright...
Oh Jingle bells Jingle bells,
This Visa cards okay...
Oh what fun it is to max it out,
All by Christmas day...
Jingle bells Jingle bells,
I know I’ll have to pay...
But what the hell it's Christmas time,
I've got to fill old Santa’s sleigh...
A day or two ago,
I thought I nearly died...
My future wasn't bright,
I laughed and then I cried...
I got a phone call from the bank,
They said I've lost the plot...
You've got your Visa card to thank,
You've spent the bloody lot...
Oh Jingle bells Jingle bells,
My life's in disarray...
Now I'm left with a credit debt,
That is growing by the day...
Oh Jingle bells Jingle bells,
I will promise that I’ll pay...
Just take away my credit card,
And things will be all okay ...
