The Lyrics
This parody was inspired by the sight of my brother's house on Christmas Day, which looked as though Big Box Mart threw up in there!
It's beginning to look a lot like Excess, ev'rywhere you go;
Take a gander at all the ads educating the Moms and Dads
On which of several fads to spend their dough
It's beginning to look a lot like Excess, toys in every store
Giant characters at your place can be seen from outer space
As their blowers roar !
Anybody can see that a plasma TV
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Designer jeans that exceed all our means
Are the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for their debt to be sold again !
It's beginning to look a lot like Excess, ev'rywhere you go;
So your holiday won't be marred, pay your VISA with Mastercard
And twenty-one percent will still seem low !
It's beginning to look a lot like Excess, soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the plastic that you fling
When you've filled your cart !
Take a gander at all the ads educating the Moms and Dads
On which of several fads to spend their dough
It's beginning to look a lot like Excess, toys in every store
Giant characters at your place can be seen from outer space
As their blowers roar !
Anybody can see that a plasma TV
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Designer jeans that exceed all our means
Are the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for their debt to be sold again !
It's beginning to look a lot like Excess, ev'rywhere you go;
So your holiday won't be marred, pay your VISA with Mastercard
And twenty-one percent will still seem low !
It's beginning to look a lot like Excess, soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the plastic that you fling
When you've filled your cart !
Merry Excess to All !
