There are people whom I know
For cash they have no regards
They never have any dough
They survive on credit cards

They have not been though hard times
Never saw a day of want
Don't care for nickels or dimes
Eat lunch in a restaurant

They never had to eat burnt toast
Because there was no more bread
Or be ashamed to be the host
Or ever go to sleep unfed

They never wore socks with holes
Or pants seats that were ripped
Nor shoes with worn soles
Or hair that wasn't neatly clipped

When they get a cup of latte
I feel like being sarcastic
They do not have fives to pay
They just whip out the plastic

Dollars were a man's ranking
It indicated success
Now there's no need for banking
Just Visa or Am Express.

Above is syllable checked.

There are some people whom I know

For cash they have no regards

They never have any real dough

They survive on credit cards

They have never been though hard times

Never saw a day of want

Don’t care about quarters or dimes

Always eat in a restaurant

They never had to eat burnt toast

Because there was no more bread

Or be ashamed to be the host

Or go to sleep unfed

They never wore socks with holes

Or pants that were ripped

Nor shoes with worn soles

Or hair that wasn’t clipped

If they buy a cup of latte

I feel like being sarcastic

They do not have two dollars to pay

They just whip out the plastic

Wads of dollars used to be a man’s ranking

It indicated success

Now there’s no need for banking

Just have Visa or American Express.
