Buddy, I'm the one to help invest it properly!
I'm here to talk about extended warranty!
It’s a super bumper, liquidation, last chance
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
