To the tune of "Silver Bells" and, I hope, to the tastes of forumers:

 

Little chain stores, great big Wal-Marts

Dressed in mercantile style,

In the air there's a feeling of shopping/

Drivers cursing, autos passing,

Driving mile after mile,

And at every off-ramp you will see:

 

Taco Bells, Taco Bells,

It's Christmas time in the suburbs.

K'ching! k'ching! Cash box ring,

Soon it will be Christmas Day!

 

It would be better if you found  the music to post with it.

Lord. 

:clap:

 

 

I made a comment about Taco Bell the other day:  "run for the border, among other things....".

 

A friend of mine at first thought it was "racist", then I realized she's way too young to remember that ill-thought-out ad campaign.

 

Another in a continuing series of "dude, you are way older than these people" moments.    :-o

Sweet!  :clap:

 

And the second verse is......?

^ ..... still to come.  C'mon, it's been only 15 years since I wrote the first verse. I'll get on it soon, I hope.

Oh lord....Do you register/copywrite this little ditty?

Never thought about it. Until I posted it yesterday, I had never shared it publicly other than in a newspaper column I wrote in Minnesota -- I just checked my files, and it was printed 14 years ago today. I don't know what that means in terms of copyrighting.

Well lookie here.  I know own that little tune now!  Victory is mine!
