Song Description
A diverse, crazy and catchy song about paying bills online. I kept hearing people cite an advertisement/song about paying bills online, but nobody could find the song to play for me. So, having not heard the song (nor lyrics besides the obvious), I finally decided to write my own.

Listen to find: a normal catchy verse/chorus pair, a time signature change, rapping, Plat on the guitar, a ballad, horrible autotuning, and more!
Lyrics
VERSE
When I've got too much to do and I wanna get away from the stress
I turn on my computer, and it helps me to do rest
I surf the Web on the browser, payin' bills as a hundred an hour
It's better than games, with twice the glee
I'd gladly pay twice the convenience fee

CHORUS
Payin' my bills online is a great way to pass the time
Payin' my bills online is a great way to pass the time
You can pay them at work
You can pay them at school
You can pay them from the freezer and you're really damn cool!

VERSE
I pay for my utilities
I pay foreign snacks
I dig the flexibility and my 1% cash back
Paying them upside-down makes me enthusiastic
I pay them with my eyes closed
No paper, I use plastic
Web sites have disclaimers I don't read, but I click "Agree"
If my data's locked enough for them, it's good enough for me!

CHORUS
Payin' my bills online is a great way to pass the time
Payin' my bills online is a great way to pass the time
You can pay bills ahead
You can pay off your fine
You can pay them in your jammies when you're drunk on wine! (WooOOoo!)

BRIDGE
What keeps my banking secure?
How do my numbers leave tha com-pu-tor?

RAP
A payment gets a-wrapped into SSL jacket into TCP and IP packet
Sent through Ethernet or maybe PPP over routers on the Internet and get to company

BRIDGE 2
Wha? Let me explain it differently.
Paying online's so fun that I pay in small amounts
Where I'm spending just a penny from many accounts
Don't know if tomorrow will be sunny, or rainy like to day
But [good sirs / it serves] there is no question whether I'm going to pay

CHORUS
Payin' my bills online is a great way to pass the time
Payin' my bills online is a great way to pass the time
You can pay them with one hand
You can pay them with two
But I bet that you'll be dancin' by the time you're through

FINALE
When you're payin' your bills onliiinneeee!
