Genie's Comments: Here's one I wrote 2 years ago for our church's "Alternative Gift Market and Buy-Nothing Day" project.

Chorus:
Fleece Mom and Dad! Fleece Mom and Dad!
Fleece Mom and Dad! Don't spare their budget, make the kids feel glad! (Repeat)

We'll make the kids want a brand new Nintendo
Some Pokemons and a Tickle me Elmo!
And Ken and Barbie--so Wal-Mart can sell mo'
And fill up those shopping carts!

Chorus

For many months how the kids have implored 'em
For Beanie Babies--just watch people hoard 'em--,
Video games to relieve kiddies' boredom,
And the latest trading cards!

Chorus

Letters to Santa can be so heart-rending
With 20-page "gimme" lists that they're sending!
It's patriotic this year to be spendin',
So our bottom line stands hard!

Chorus

For many months how the kids have implored 'em
For Beanie Babies--just watch people hoard 'em--,
Video games to relieve kiddies' boredom,
And the latest trading cards!

Chorus

And the bottom line stands hard!
