Forever in Debt

What I wouldn't give
To redocorate, it's true
Without all the expenses
Of the money that I blew

The paint, it cost a fortune
Though it didn't smell at all
Carpeting was soon replaced
In all the rooms and hall

Suddenly the curtains
Became Venetian blinds
Matching walls and carpet
With all the greatest finds

Furniture looked old and worn
Forgetting comfort's need
I bought the latest style
My vain glory for to feed

Then I found some knick-knacks
Got rid of everything
Replaced it with the others
Cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching

My bank account is empty
Bills come in too fast
My (home) lost in transactions
Too bad I found out last
