First day, half price, fire sale like never before!

And it’s there to explore, when you step in the door

The very model of a modern major general store!

But the fact is everybody’s gotta have it, gotta have it

Those who have it really have it

If you haven’t, well, you’ve had it, couldn’t hack it

Now the haven'ts haven't had it and the haves are very glad it's

Just the haven'ts that're lacking what they’re having

Now the ads have got the traffic

And we’ve grabbed your demographic

So you’re packing up your basket

'Cause your dad has gotta have it

He’ll be sad if you don’t wrap it with a tag, it’ll be tragic

So you’re manically grabbing at the shelves amid the panic

Seems that everybody has it, man, you really gotta have it

So you get it, you’re ecstatic but a crackle in the static

And the it is out of fashion, just a fad, a piece of plastic

So you trash it then you get back into your car

'Cause you don’t have it

And the fact is everybody’s gotta have it, gotta have it

Those who have it really have it

If you haven’t, well, you’ve had it, couldn’t hack it

Now the haven'ts haven't had it and the hads are very glad it's

Hochi-mama, what a mouthful!

In the encyclopedia of being afraid

There ain’t nothing to be scared of till there’s fees to be paid

There’s deals to be made with seasonal savings!

Regional ratings are lethally fading

Screaming and raving, ceaseless appraising

Legally grey but sweet with the phrasing

Feet in the grave but gleefully trading

Feeding the cravings, eat little plaything

Deals so good I’ll [?] myself

Feeding the cravings, eat little plaything

Gone with the sugar barrel, pickle barrel, milk pan

Feeding the cravings, eat little plaything

I can feel that smooth taste already!

Feeding the cravings, eat little plaything
