Hey now I'm gonna give my baby a call I'm gonna meet her downtown, at the brand new fashion mall I ain't got no job, no way to pay my rent But i keep shopping till I squander my last cent Come here now baby try on these discount shoes For $2.92 you can lose those shopping mall blues Well your dad don't like me, but your mama thinks I'm swell I stop for dinner but your house has a funny smell
I'm gonna wash in the fountain, use the public telephone This shopping mall is gonna be my brand new home It's got ample parking and I buy a donut at the donut shack I don't wash no dishes, when your eating from a paper sack So don't turn me in, cause I hang around all day long If there weren't no fools there sure wouldn't be no malls
