Frivolous Friday, 11.26.2010: The Steely Dan edition

(Seriously, y'all just had to know this was coming...)

When Black Friday comes
I'll camp out by the door
And be first in line when they
Open the mega-store.
When Black Friday comes
It won't matter if it's snowed,
I'll be banging bumpers out
On skating-rink roads.
When Black Friday falls, the prices they will be
The next best thing to free.

When Black Friday comes
I can't stop to think or look
Gonna scribble numbers and words
In my skinny checkbook.
Gotta keep all those Chinese
Making gadgets, toys, and shoes
With their billion mouths to feed--
And nothing to lose.
When Black Friday comes, we'll forget the bill:
You know I will.

When Black Friday comes
Gonna auction off my soul,
And eBay will help me fill
In this credit sink-hole.
Gonna snatch up all I can buy me,
Deferred payments gonna justify me,
If I default, it's their loss:
I'm gonna let it roll!
When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna know no shame:
It's how we play this game.
