AIN'T GOT THE SCRATCH
Front row center
top down, chrome was gleamin'
'DRIVE HER HOME TODAY!'
the salesman was screamin'
I wanted her bad but couldn't figger out how
to meet those easy terms:
'Half down, the rest NOW'
so I'll wire up that m***ler
I'll put on that patch
'cause baby I got the itch
but I ain't got the scratch
Hot red lipstick
black lace and leather
she had it goin' on
she had it together
with the face of an angel
and the body of a centerfold
looked like high scheduled maintenance
at frequent service intervals
I knew all along that I was way overmatched
'cause I sho' had the itch but
I ain't got the scratch
Somethin' catches your eye
An' ya just gotta have it
You better rethink it 'fore you reach out and grab it
'Fore ya reach in your pocket
An' pull out that plastic
Do your self a favor
Break that bad habit
I called up my accountant
'bout a house on a hill
seventeen rooms, a pool as big as the bill
I'm massagin' the numbers
no way to nudge it
with your Dom Perignon palate
and your Blue Ribbon budget
so call your friend at the mint
and have 'em print a fresh batch
'cause baby you got the itch but ya ain't got the scratch
You been around long enough, you know there's always a catch
'cause baby I got the itch, but I ain't got the scratch
