The Lyrics
I was dreaming when I saw this
4give me if I push in line
But when I woke up this morning
I could have sworn it was bargain day
The sky was all blue
There were people runnin' to the store
Trying 2 run to the bargain
And U know I didn't even care
Cuz they say 20 zero zero
bargain over, oops sold out
So 2today it's on sale like is $19.99
I was dreaming when I brought this
So punch me if I steel ya cash
But shopping is just a bargain
And sales weren't meant 2 last
fighting is all around us
My mind says prepare 2 push
So if I got lose somethin
I'm gonna listen 2 the clerk 2day
Cuz they say 20 zero zero
bargain over, oops sold out
So 2today it's on sale like is $19.99
If U didn't shop around
Don't bother entering this store
Cuz that diamond U always want
Just went out that door
Everybody's got credit
We could get debit any day
But before I'll let that happen
I'll buy my wife a ring that's gay.
Cuz they say 20 zero zero
bargain over, oops sold out
So 2today it's on sale like is $19.99
Don't U wanna by it?
It's $19.99
Mommy why does everybody have a card?
4give me if I push in line
But when I woke up this morning
I could have sworn it was bargain day
The sky was all blue
There were people runnin' to the store
Trying 2 run to the bargain
And U know I didn't even care
Cuz they say 20 zero zero
bargain over, oops sold out
So 2today it's on sale like is $19.99
I was dreaming when I brought this
So punch me if I steel ya cash
But shopping is just a bargain
And sales weren't meant 2 last
fighting is all around us
My mind says prepare 2 push
So if I got lose somethin
I'm gonna listen 2 the clerk 2day
Cuz they say 20 zero zero
bargain over, oops sold out
So 2today it's on sale like is $19.99
If U didn't shop around
Don't bother entering this store
Cuz that diamond U always want
Just went out that door
Everybody's got credit
We could get debit any day
But before I'll let that happen
I'll buy my wife a ring that's gay.
Cuz they say 20 zero zero

Great idea, poorly executed. Nice idea 2 use the numbers just like whathisname does, but it will take more than that to make a funny parody.
Neither really good or really bad, left me somewhat indifferent, but maybe partly because I knew it had been done before and better. If you havent already looked for previous takes you'll find them here:
