| Original Performer: | Johnny Cash |
| Parody Song Title: | "Life on Hire" |
| Parody Written by: | Rocky Mak |
Hire Purchase isn't always the best thing, especially when you're starting out working.
Cash is a touchy thing
And it stops some people think
Cash makes me a liar
I fell into the life of hire
I am now
So in debt
The bank grew tired
Interests all went down
But my problem got more dire
Though I earn, earn, earn
Can't clear the hire
A life on hire
I am now
So in debt
The bank grew tired
Interests all went down
But my problem got more dire
Though I earn, earn,earn
Can't clear the hire
A life on hire
[Years later]
I bought a lounging suite
Full cash, no hire for me
I can buy it, so beguiled
Though it is out-of-style
I am now
Out of debt
But I am tired
Prices all went down
More things are out for hire
Though I earn, earn, earn
Till I retire
A life on hire
I am now
Out of debt
But I am tired
Prices all went down
More things are out for hire
Though I earn, earn, earn
Till I retire
A life on hire
Though I earn, earn, earn
Till I retire
A life on hire
A life on hire
And it stops some people think
Cash makes me a liar
I fell into the life of hire
I am now
So in debt
The bank grew tired
Interests all went down
But my problem got more dire
Though I earn, earn, earn
Can't clear the hire
A life on hire
I am now
So in debt
The bank grew tired
Interests all went down
But my problem got more dire
Though I earn, earn,earn
Can't clear the hire
A life on hire
[Years later]
I bought a lounging suite
Full cash, no hire for me
I can buy it, so beguiled
Though it is out-of-style
I am now
Out of debt
But I am tired
Prices all went down
More things are out for hire
Though I earn, earn, earn
Till I retire
A life on hire
I am now
Out of debt
But I am tired
Prices all went down
More things are out for hire
Though I earn, earn, earn
Till I retire
A life on hire
Though I earn, earn, earn
Till I retire
A life on hire
A life on hire
