Parody Song Title:

"If I Only Could Refrain"

Parody Written by:

Gianni Parmesiani

I can shop online for hours
At sites like Eddie Bauer's
For things I'd love to gain
My husband's always yelling
All my stuff I should be selling
If I only could refrain

I'd sure purchase any item
Search on ad infinitum
my friends say I'm insane:

"With the dough you've been spending
World hunger would soon be ending
If you only could refrain"

Oh, I just have to buy
From any online store
So I search for things I really just adore
And then I click and buy some more

Yes, my closets I am stuffin'
My husband still is huffin'
My message here is plain
Bank accounts are at zero
'Melda Marcos is my hero
If I only could refrain

Good one here, Gianni. Pacing is excellent, and overspending is something everyone can connect with. 555, and welcome to AmIRight. Beer's in the fridge.
