A Little at a Time

Well, the lady said will this be cash and I thought boy if that'en ain't a laugh
 Why I don't carry money of that kind
 Just put it on my charge account on account of I can't pay you now
 I'll pay for it a little at a time
 I'm just an average working girl trying to get along in this old world
 Looking for that rich man I might find
 But up 'til now the times are hard I'm living on my credit card
 And paying for life a little at time
 A little at a time that's how I pay my bills
 That's the story of the working girl
 Always going overboard buying things I can't afford
 In this charge account credit card, pay for it a little at a time world

 My weekly check don't amount to a lot, But I'm making payments on what I got
 At the end of the month I ain't got one thin dime
 And this old car I bought brand new but I'm still payin' on it too
 I've been payin' for it a little at a time
 Got a new apartment I just moved in and I'll do well to pay the rent
 It's unfurnished so a bargain I must find
 I saw a sign in a store downtown house goods for nothing down
 Pay for it a little at a time
 A little at a time that's how I pay my bill
 That's the story of the working girl
 Always going overboard buying things I can't afford
 In this charge account credit card pay for it a little at a time world
 I want to pay on my layaway here's a dollar on my mink collar
