Story Behind The Song
Emmauel had an idea for a song. It wasn't this title, but it was close...and while I was on the phone explaining to him that I could not write it, the mailman pulled up out front...and that's when the whole song became crystal clear to me.

Lyrics
Plastic Money by Glenn Warren and Emmanuel J.S. Ellis
Had hot date with my sweet little honey...
Checked my pockets; didn't find no money...
I was busted flatter than a frog on the highway;
Like a man condemned...Before he dies...
My love life flashed before my eyes...
Til the mailman brought a plastic pardon my way;
It was pre-approved...No annual fee...
The answer to a prayer for me;
Chorus: Plastic Money...What a wonderful thing...
You need to buy somthing, just sign your name;
New clothes...New car...
First class ticket to fly...
I ain't found nothin'..Plastic Money...can't buy.
Now, me and my honey, we go in style;
When she's happy, she makes me smile;
Bein' in debt's a lot better than bein' without;
They say someday I'll have to pay...
But the bank sent a new car yesterday...
Giving me even more financial clout;
When the bill comes due...Ain't no sweat...
I'll pay witha card I ain't used yet;
Chorus: Plastic Money...What a wonderful thing...
You need to buy somthing, just sign your name;
New clothes...New car...
First class ticket to fly...
I ain't found nothin'..Plastic Money...can't buy.
Bridge: I'm gonna reget not being around...
To see those bankers' eyes...
I'm gonna charge my funeral when I die;
Chorus: Plastic Money...What a wonderful thing...
You need to buy somthing, just sign your name;
New clothes...New car...
First class ticket to fly...
I ain't found nothin'..Plastic Money...can't buy.
