A Little at a Time - Dolly Parton
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 till 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...
