My 7-year adjustable rate mortgage is expiring next year, so I thought that I'd call my bank to see if I could refinance my loan.
 
I filled out all the paperwork and answered all their questions, but I was rejected.
 
I decided to rewrite a song that was popular in the 1970's and then I called up the bank again and sang it to them over the phone, thinking it would change their mind.
 
They laughed, but said my application was still rejected. What am I going to do now?

If you change your mind, I’m the first in line
money's al-most free
Re-fi-nance for me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone when the pretty birds have flown
money's al-most free
Re-fi-nance for me
Gonna do my very best and it ain’t no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try
 
Re-fi-nance for me
(that’s all I ask of you - money)
Re-fi-nance for me
 
rate is ad-van-cing, loan clerk is balk-ing, as long as we’re together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
’cos you know I’ve got
So much that I wanna do, when I scheme my new loan from you
It’s magic
You want me to leave it there, filled out the questionnaire
But I think you know
That I can’t let go
 
If you change your mind, I’m the first in line
money's al-most free
Re-fi-nance for me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone when the pretty birds have flown
money's al-most free
Re-fi-nance for me
Gonna do my very best and it ain’t no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try
 
Re-fi-nance for me
(come on, give me a break will you? )
Re-fi-nance for me
 
Oh you can take your time baby, I’m in no hurry, know I’m gonna get you
You don’t wanna hurt me, baby don’t worry, I ain’t gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My job is strong enough to last when things are rough
It’s magic
You say that I waste my time but I can’t get one point from prime
No I can’t let go
’cos I want you so
 
If you change your mind, I’m the first in line
money's al-most free
Re-fi-nance for me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down
If you’re all alone when the pretty birds have flown
money's al-most free
Re-fi-nance for me
Gonna do my very best, baby can’t you see
Gotta put me to the test, Re-fi-nance for me
(re-fi-nance, re-fi-nance, Re-fi-nance for me)
 
Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa
money's al-most free
Re-fi-nance for me
Gonna do my very best, baby can’t you see
Gotta put me to the test, Re-fi-nance for me
(re-fi-nance, re-fi-nance, Re-fi-nance for me)
 
Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba
money's al-most free
Re-fi-nance for me
