At the Mall (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was a Saturday A lazy kind of Saturday It was kind of a bore, kind of a snore Kind of Saturday I thought I'd bake a cake But then I remembered, I hate, I hate to bake Nothing but sports on the telly and I thought My heart would break [Pre-Chorus] But then it occurred to me In a moment of truth Suddenly I realized what I had to do [Chorus] I had to go to the mall, the mall For the blacktop, the parking spaces and all I had to go to the mall, the mall Where that mass of humanity meets face to face Instant insanity show me the way To the mall, the mall [Verse 2] It was a friend's birthday My very best friend's birthday Isn't it funny how old fathеr time catches up with us In the samе way I forgot to get a gift I think my mind had probably been adrift Oh what a sorrow I felt when I feared It would cause a rift [Pre-Chorus] But then it occurred to me In a moment of truth Suddenly I realized what I had to do [Chorus] I had to go to the mall, the mall For those trinkets of junk and that ain't all I had to go to the mall, the mall "It's a combo snowblower, hair dryer, here's how it goes" "Do you have it in pink? I'll take two of those" At the mall [Verse 3] It was a rainy night A romantic kind of rainy night It was the kind of a night when you wish you had someone To hold you tight I went to a singles bar Then to another singles bar Nary a tingle, still I thought I'd hit one more Singles bar [Pre-Chorus] But then it occurred to me In a moment of truth Suddenly I realized what I had to do [Chorus] I had to go to the mall, the mall It's so easy to find romance at the mall I had to go to the mall, the mall Just stand in the door where they sell lingerie You're sure to find someone looking your way At the mall, the mall [Outro] At the mall, the mall At the mall, the mall You'll find it all At the mall
