Ode To Black Friday
Actually, it is more of an ode to cheap shopping but, with today being black Friday and all, I thought that I would dig up this old ditty that I wrote probably close to 15 years ago or so with some friends of mine at the bar. Actually, I may have stolen most of it from someone else but I can’t remember who so … if you wrote this, and you read this, let me know so I can give credit where credit is due.
K-mart to buy some shoes (Electric avenue)
Now in the malls there are bargains
And there are lots of deals to be found
No need to clip out de coupons
Cause der are deals all over de town
Good God
We gonna walk down to Kmart to buy some shoes
Dey only cost a dollar (repeat)
Please don’t go shop at de Walmart
And all the Venture’s closed up last year
And if you go out to Target
You can’t afford to cover your feet
Oh yes
We gonna walk down to Kmart to buy some shoes
Dey only cost a dollar (repeat)
In aisle 8…in isle 8…by automotive…near pet supply
Most stores are 24 hours
so you can shop all day and all night
and things will only get cheaper
when they go pull out the blue light
in isle 8…in isle 8…choices are many…sizes are right
shop it in the daytime-shop it in the night
shop it when Rosie O’don-donnel, and Penny Marshall fight

Grew up northwest of Chicago. Like I said in the post, I may have stolen parts. Maybe I heard the chorus and made up the rest. Can’t remember. Was a loong time ago.
