Three Easy Payments !

Sleep number sixty-five,
get a set of Ginsu knives.
One hundred fifty all time hits,
a rowing machine to make you fit.

An amazing chamois to dry your car,
a GPS to tell you how far.
A contour belt to tighten your abs,
a portable treadmill melt away flab.

We'll teach you to buy a foreclosed home,
buy a new phone for wherever you roam.
You can buy a coin, straight from the mint,
even a brush,for removing the lint.

You can buy a new vacuum,for cleaning the floor,
or another machine to open your door.
Buy an electric wheelchair, to get you around,
or a tiny new radio with stereo sound.

You can get all the things you want today,
right off the T.V. that's what they say.
Just pull out your VISA, for your payments times three,
We'll deliver your stuff, wherever you be.

                  Infomercials !
