Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
Floyd leads his posse to the mall, describing the inevitable amount of people who will be there to deal with, such as the last-minute Christmas shoppers
Spend, spend, spend, spend...
Spend, spend, spend, spend...
We gotta run the doors down
Even if they're rotary*
With the crowded parking lot and the
Run-down Mickey D's
With their busied asiles
And the joined K-Mart
See the asiles crowding with those shopping last;
Last minute Christmas dash
Digging deep for wadded cash
And the shoppers batter down the doors
They gotta spend!
Spend, spend, spend, spend...
Spend, spend, spend, spend...
They'll be there all day
And there all night
Cast their hard-earned money
Off with pride
And if you're taking your girlfriend
Out to spend
You better guard your cart
Close, my friend
Cause if we catch you out there shopping
With a big bunch of cash
We're gonna rob your fool-ass straight blind
And make a mad dash
We gotta spend!
Spend, spend, spend, spend...
We gotta run the doors down
Even if they're rotary*
With the crowded parking lot and the
Run-down Mickey D's
With their busied asiles
And the joined K-Mart
See the asiles crowding with those shopping last;
Last minute Christmas dash
Digging deep for wadded cash
And the shoppers batter down the doors
They gotta spend!
Spend, spend, spend, spend...
Spend, spend, spend, spend...
They'll be there all day
And there all night
Cast their hard-earned money
Off with pride
And if you're taking your girlfriend
Out to spend
You better guard your cart
Close, my friend
Cause if we catch you out there shopping
With a big bunch of cash
We're gonna rob your fool-ass straight blind
And make a mad dash
We gotta spend!
* I think I used this word wrong, what Im gong for is the "rotating" door thing...yeah I dont know...I guess I'm using poetic liscene on this one

Interesting about this one is that one does'nt have to know about the rest of your Mall parody to appreciate it...and it's perfect for the holiday season, too!
Really gets the spending spirit right! 555!
