Imma write a cheque, Imma write a cheque for it
Imma write a cheque, Imma write a cheque

Who needs credit cards? I've spurned 'em, buddy
I'm, like, ooh, don't prefer 'em, buddy
It's rare that the damn machines are workin', buddy
And those stupid coins and notes are far from perfect, mate
Look, all I need is a thick chequebook for my purchase
Write my name real fancy on the surface (looks flash)
Then I'll saunter right off after it gets passed to them
In my head, laughin' at the shocked looks of the service
Why, tell me, why should I use cards? They're stupid, buddy
'Sides, they then hide how much I'm so affluent
So when those kids ask fast "Paper or plastic?"
I just dash off my John Hancock, fantastic

I lo-ove to-o write my name to buy my stuff
It pro-oves ho-ow much I'm rich
Imma write a cheque, Imma write a cheque for it
May have my no-ose he-eld high, I know, but lo: you're broke
And I-I've go-ot all these cheques
Imma write a cheque, Imma write a cheque for it

M-M-M-Money's power, flaunt that ev'ry hour (right)
Whether it's a new car or a bag of flour
Click my pen and get to scrawlin', dealin' with the glowers (ah)
Of the plebeians all around me, they're feelin' dour (right)
I'm an arsehole? Sorry, I'm dismissin' that (mate)
Can't take your obvious jealousy, it's sad
I'm spendin' my cash how I wanna, that is that
So I'll buy this huge stash of Mars bars because I can
Excuse me, 'scuse me, 'scuse me, calm down, please
You're yellin' at me just 'cause you wish y'all could be (ay)
The kinda guy with enough scratch to blow with ease
I'm afraid that you all won't be that soon, no, you see, mate

I lo-ove to-o write my name to buy my stuff
To sho-ow ho-ow much I'm rich
Imma write a cheque, Imma write a cheque for it
I'm showin' o-off? Tha-at's right, I know, but lo: you're broke
And I-I've sti-ill got these cheques
Imma write a cheque, Imma write a cheque for it

Gonna sign my name and buy myself a car
Throwin' down the cash, not lit'rally, you arse
Oh-ay-oh, nuh-uh, oh-ay-oh, nuh-uh (oh-ay-oh)
You call out my name, just let me buy my car
Places to be, man, might buy up half the bar (eh)
Oh-ay-oh, nuh-uh (eh), oh-ay-oh, nuh-uh

You sa-ay tha-at my cheque bounced? A load of bunk
There's no-o wa-ay, I'm so rich
Imma write a cheque, Imma write a cheque for it
This must be a-a hu-uge lie, made 'cause your arse is broke
There's ja-ack wro-ong with my cheques
Imma write a cheque, Imma write a cheque for it

Ain't the truth, boy, you must be nuts
I've got all the bu-ucks, cheques are valid, bud
Write a cheque for it, Imma write a cheque for it
Gonna avoid your jealous bunk
You just want my bu-ucks, now just let me run
Write a cheque for it, Imma write a cheque for it
