Lyrics

Dream Girl

Well I married my dream girl, I married my dream girl but she didn't tell me her credit was bad. So now instead of living in a pleasant suburb, we're living in the basement at her mom and dad's. No we can't get a loan for a respectible home just because my girl defaulted on some old credit card. If we'd gone to free credit report dot com I'd be a happy bachelor with a dog and a yard.

Seafood Restaurant

They say a man should always dress for the job he wants so why am I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant. Its all because some hacker stole my identity. Now I'm in here every evening serving chowder and iced tea. Should have gone to freecreditreport.com (yeehaa!) I could have seen this coming at me like an atom bomb. They monitor your credit and send you email alerts. So you dont end up selling fish to tourists in t-shirts.

Subcompact Car

Well I was shopping for a new car
Which one's me
A cool convertible or an SUV
Too bad I didn't know my credit was
whack cause now I'm driving off the lot in a used subcompact
f-r-e-e that spells free
credit report dot com baby
Saw their ads on my tv
Thought about going but was too lazy
Now instead of looking fly and rolling
phat my legs are sticking to the vinyl
and my posse's getting laughed at
f-r-e-e that spells free
credit report dot com baby

Bicycle

Check it out gas prices going up sky high
Ditch my used sub-compack for a 2 wheel drive
Now I'm rolling eco friendly But I still look bad
When the bike store saw my credit
They said this is all they had
I'm singin'
F to the R to the E to the E to the C to the R to the E D I T
RE to the PORT to the dot to the com
Come on everybody grab your bikes and sing along
[Its easy]
F to the R to the E to the E to the C to the R to the E D I T
RE to the PORT to the dot to the com

Rock Star

When you're a rock star
You get to party hard
Champagne and caviar
Tricked out exotic cars

It's just now I thought I'd be
'Xcept the party's not for me
Cause some punk opened a credit card
With my ID

Free -- What?
Free Credit, Report.com
That's the site I'm gonna hit
When I go home

They know how credit works
They send email alerts
Now I'm findin out
How bad reality hurts

Renaissance Fair

I was getting depressed 'cause of all the stress I was feeling at home
Had a poor credit score and the number would haunt me wherever I'd go
Thought I'd move to a place where my credit could stink and nobody would care
I just wish that somebody had told me that place was a Renaissance Fair!

    Nice lens, but the comment spammers have found your lenses :-( It's why many lensmasters approve comments. Annoying they are!
