i'm working so i will open a new savings account and save my check
(a penny saved is a penny earned)
i walk into home depot, i want to buy the store
(i love tools, how does this work, i need that, etc)
oh, oh, "best to be thrifty"
i pass a electronics store
wow, a state of the art home entertainment center
