dunt  do major credit cards, I doubt  she does receipts
 
 its  all not quite legitimate.

 And what a scummy man
 Just give him half a chance I bet he'll rob you if he can
 Can see it in his eyes, yeah That he's got a driving ban

 And I've seen him with girls  of the night
 And he  told Roxanne to put on  her red light
 They're all infected but he'll  be alright
 Cause he's a scumbag, don't  you know
 I said he's a scumbag, don't you know.
