I really should'a read the fine print,
when I booked this trip.
Now, thanks to salmonella,
we're all stuck on this ship....

I really should'a read the fine print,
it got hidden by belly button lint,
'cause while I signed it quickly
her lawyer laughed so glibly...
now I'm off doing a thirty-year stint!...

There once was a woman titled Clair
who bought a spectacular timeshare
she got caught in their net
put five years into debt
and complained it simply wasn't fair.

Read in-between lines
Glimpse clear message fine


Catch the hidden touch
That tells more than much


Know that spacious lot
Beyond simple thought


Read the fine print well
Watch secret art spell

I should not read that fine print
I should not read the fine print 
For it hurts my eyes as I try.
It's so tiny that I cannot read.
To find out that they are taking my money
Or that i have to pay twice to get the gift.
I should not read the fine print 
For it might tell me I'm going blind.
So read with care for it might tell you a story...

In the catalogue picture I saw

Such a gemstone that filled me with awe.

Oh, but I should have known

That ring’s smaller than shown -

At least SEVEN times tinier. BAH!

As my day goes always to show.
Tired from the day my mind slows.
Shopping through the store I do find.
A cool drink I love to drink fine.
Tropical water it does say.
I grab it and I'm on my way.
I really shoulda read the fine print.
The bottle I grab And shake It bent.
Oh how the cat ran for cover 
When it hissed and spewed all over the floor.

Before you sign any paperwork
Ensure all of it you've read
Too often we've given our signature
Then we start to dread
Did I agree to something I shouldn't have
What exactly was there written
It's so important these things are checked
In order to not feel bitten
Always read the fine print
It's something that we're told
Cause often it's important
Too important to be bold...

The Johnson's found the house they'd dreamed about
They signed the papers happy as could be
But when they read the find print, they did shout
Their interest rate balloon they hadn't seen

They tried to sell the house, but had no luck
So with a higher payment they were stuck
The Johnson's learned that 'love is blind' applies
To those who build their castles in the sky
