cure my spending addiction
My spending addiction is getting so bad,
It’s even driving my cats totally mad.
I buy everything that I see,
I wonder what the next thing will be.
Any excuse to go and shop,
I just don’t know how to stop.
I took an overdraft out with the bank,
Wayne is on the verge of giving me a spank.
I buy multiple items of the same thing,
I just love the sound of the till going ping.
Hair products of every kind are all on my shelf,
Anyone would think I have a lot of wealth.
Let’s not forget the endless make up,
Or that precious antique china cup,
I may not have that much money,
But that is what makes it all so funny,
That I would rather live off a can
Of hairspray, than go and buy brand new pan.
I need some sort of transformation,
To cure my real bad fascination,
For all things that cost money,
So I can stop being a material little honey.
And learn to stop buying everything in sight,
And learn to look after my appetite.

An entertaining hymn to "shop-aholics" who suffer from
what my mother used to refer to as "money burning a hole in your pocket".
I would have omitted "the till going ping" in the second verse and used "the till's ting-a-ling" instead. But that's
just me!
