Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
I've been "Broke" forever
Since my wife wrote the very first check.
I earned the cash and she put the "Plan" together.
I'm the "Enabler" and she writes the checks.
(Chorus)
She wrote the checks that made the merchants "Sigh!"
She wrote the checks with "Flair" and "Feeling"
She wrote the checks that made the bankers "Cry!"
She "Bled" our checking account "Dry!"
My world is now in turmoil.
Law enforcement is my closest friend.
As I look for a quick solution,
I'm "Screwed", she went shopping again!
(Repeat Chorus)
She bought "Designer Shoes"
So many to choose!
She bought'em all!
Oh, Man! What a "Groove!"
Then she wrote a real "Hot Check"
And we had to "Move!"
She wrote the check!
She wrote the check!
She writes checks!
That's what she's "About"
Can't do no "Plastic"
Our "Card" are all "Maxxed Out!"
Gotta' go!. Gotta' make the next "Sale!"
The checkbook's "Smokin', Dude!"
Let's "Bail!"
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm in "Jail" again!
'Cause she wrote the "Checks!"
Since my wife wrote the very first check.
I earned the cash and she put the "Plan" together.
I'm the "Enabler" and she writes the checks.
(Chorus)
She wrote the checks that made the merchants "Sigh!"
She wrote the checks with "Flair" and "Feeling"
She wrote the checks that made the bankers "Cry!"
She "Bled" our checking account "Dry!"
My world is now in turmoil.
Law enforcement is my closest friend.
As I look for a quick solution,
I'm "Screwed", she went shopping again!
(Repeat Chorus)
She bought "Designer Shoes"
So many to choose!
She bought'em all!
Oh, Man! What a "Groove!"
Then she wrote a real "Hot Check"
And we had to "Move!"
She wrote the check!
She wrote the check!
She writes checks!
That's what she's "About"
Can't do no "Plastic"
Our "Card" are all "Maxxed Out!"
Gotta' go!. Gotta' make the next "Sale!"
The checkbook's "Smokin', Dude!"
Let's "Bail!"
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm in "Jail" again!
'Cause she wrote the "Checks!"

Very good. At least you make the effort to comment.
Thank you for writing a funny, well-paced parody with a song that everyone knows, about something that many can relate to, with no political agenda. These qualities have been missing for far too long on the site. THANK YOU.
