Black Friday

Get into the car and drive, drive, drive
To each downtown store
Let’s shop, shop, shop 
Deals galore, let us adore
Save, save, save is the motto
Flashing lights, dollar signs
25, 30, 45, and 50 percent off right now
Hurry before it’s all gone
Watch out for the block tackle and hold on
Someone may step in before you get there
Hey, watch out, I was here first
Say your peace and put on a smile
We do not need to be hostile
All is not lost when it comes to bargains
Hold on to the reins
Look before you leap
Before the money is all, but spent
You come home and drop
The damage is done
It was a marathon
On Black Friday
