Don’t leave it for the morning,
Nothing’s ever going to fix itself.
Some buy it for the fashion,
Some buy it because it’s on the shelf.
If there has to be a reason
Don’t tell me that it’s not for me.
I’m going to watch until I fall
Into the trap that you have set for me.
You can bribe me with incentives,
You can gag me with your silver spoon.
It’s everything I never wanted.
It’s everything I wish I’d thought of sooner.
I’ll buy it because it’s what I live for,
A better life is one receipt away.
I’ll buy it because it’s what I’m asked of.
I’ll buy it because it makes me say…
Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!
Pick it up! Don’t pass it by!
Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!
Don’t give it a chance to lie!
Don't leave it for the morning,
Listen close and you will soon believe
It's a package of improvements
You know it's good because it's on TV!
Don’t leave it for the morning,
If you stay we’re going to change your mind,
And you’ll only have to send us
Twenty payments of $39.95!!
