These lyrics may not be strictly accurate, but I sing them like this: There's a whole lotta women, there's a whole lotta guys, Get a pocket full of money, makes their blood pressure rise, Do they go downtown to spend all their dough People let me tell you where they want to go They go to the mall, the big old shopping mall It makes that downtown business crawl, that big old shopping mall. They got central air, they got central heat You can go upstairs without moving your feet You can pay for it now, you can pay for it later You can go for a ride on a 'lectric escalator Down at the mall, the big old shopping mall It makes that downtown business crawl, that big old shopping mall. Let me spell it for you M is for massive A big one U know it L...that spells mall...mall, mall, mall Down at the mall, the big old shopping mall It makes that downtown business crawl, They've got a million parking stalls You've seen one, you've seem 'em all, That big old shopping mall. |
