As promised
I met my good friend Mr. Katz yesterday,
He looked all upset, so I started to say
Things can’t be so bad, why are you so sad,
You better tell me right away
I’d be just as happy as I was before,
If only I listened and trusted you more
I ignored your advice, now I’m, paying the price
I went with all of my kids TO A STORE!
You went to a store with your girls and your boys?
And it was a big store, a store filled with toys,
But I warned you not, I know I forgot,
Oy it was a day that I did not enjoy
I know just what happened don’t tell me a thing
I know cause I took my kids the last spring
When they got to the store and walked through the door
All of your kinderlach started to SING
We want Lego and Construx
And a hockey set deluxe
We want baseballs we want bats
We want helmets we want hats
Like I said to you before, never take kids to a store,
All your gonna hear is, we want more and more
Tatty there’s a pretty doll with shiny golden hair,
I’m sorry little shayfela am I a Millionaire?
You already have that train, I know it works just fine,
But look it’s such a bargain only $19.99
We want cars and trucks you see,
And of course Monopoly,
See this camera it’s so nice
Look it’s made by Fisher Price
Like I said to you before, never take kids to a store,
All your gonna hear is, we want more and more
Why do you need that Care Bear There’s one at home I think,
But Tatty that one’s Yellow and this one is Pink
Do you see this storybook it’s something that I need,
I’d love to buy it Shmully, BUT YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO READ!
We want robots that can talk
And animals that walk
We want checkers we want chess,
WE WON’T EVER LEAVE A MESS
Like I said to you before, never take kids to a store,
All your gonna hear is, we want more and more
They were crying, they were shouting, why i’ll bet one even screamed
And you wisped, please be quiet, you don’t want to make a scene
So you bought them all you wanted, more then you can afford,
And an hour after you got home, they said…. TATTY WE ARE BORED
But kids who have good middos, are simply not that way
They learn how to appreciate whatever comes their way
And you can even disregard all that I’ve said before
And let them come along with you
When – you – go – to – a – store.
