I went down and bought some cigarettes
Out of a vending machine
Along with the cigarettes came a pack of matches
With an [?] magazine

It said "Unfold", so I did as it told
And I read it with an open mind
I decided to send for the booklet they gave
What the heck, I was wasting my time

[Chorus]
It said "Free information with no obligation"
So I bought a stamp and licked the seal
Free information with no obligation
Then I mailed it and bought me a meal

Well, a couple days later, I got my mail
And I found that my booklet arrived
I was curious to see what it said to me
So I opened it and got a surprise

They had a bill inside with a four-letter word
I think the word said "Sale"
I got so mad 'cause I'd been had
Before I pay them, I'll go to jail

[Chorus]
Remember "Free information with no obligation"?
That's false advertising right there
Free information with no obligation
Just don't seem too fair

Don't you send for nothing like that
'Cause you can't get nothing free
I thought I could but I was too good
Don't let it do you like me

Free information with no obligation
Free information with no obligation (Don't do it! It ain't true!)
Free information with no obligation (You can't get nothing free today! Not even a little of it!)
Free information with no obligation (You gotta pay sometimes! Yeah)
