Go to the malls and shop 'til you drop
Make it a point to stop in ev'ry shop
Spend all your money and when you are done
You pack up your stuff and take it on home.
But you don't stop there! Get back on your feet
For this is the holiday boogie beat!
There's still three more shopping days left yet
So, get on your mark! Get ready, get set!
Go to a party and socialize
Keep an eye on the time, though, how it flies!
Don't stay too long; get back on your feet
You're due at another one down the street!
And now to a pageant, now to a show,
And now to a concert you must go.
This boogie won't stop, it will make you hop
It will take you back to the mall to shop.
By now your cards should be in the mail
But if you haven't yet, there's still a sale!
Pull a late-nighter and don't play tricks
Your cards should arrive by the twenty-sixth
Have you bought your gift wrap? Bought your bows?
Bought your tags and the stuff that goes
Along with that? Then wrap to the rap
And get it done ere you take your nap.
That boogie doesn't stop on Christmas day
Even if you have some time to play
'Cause the next few days will be quickly spent
At the after-Christmas sales event!
So I hope you have some vacation time
For the holiday boogie is a sight sublime.
Put on your shoes, give the blues a heave
Do the holiday boogie 'til New Year's Eve!
