The Lyrics

We did this song recently, recounting how Billboard charts in recent years get manipulated by all those loss-leader 99-cent sales.
Tune of I GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN (Sinatra rendition)

You got me, for under a buck
You got me, it’s like a bargain store
I’ve charted again,
And that’s what they bargained for
You got me, for under a buck

It can’t be, I mean what luck
You said to yourself, "The downloads have never sold so cheap"
The classics so rare, it’s like getting pure gold so cheap
You got me, for under a buck

You'd download most anything they might sell
If it goes for ninety-nine cents
In spite of a warning voice that rings like a bell
And it makes you all kind of tense

Don't you know, stupid fool, they’re pulling your strings?
My friend it’s no mystery, they’re changing chart history
‘Cause each sale that they start
Makes the Billboard chart
Get messed up with their stupid muck
When you get stuff for under a buck
