Jonathan Coulton Skymall
O'Hare is nice this time of year
I check my bags, and find my
Seat and buy a beer
And settle in
Such is my life here on the road
Now my seatback is up, tray table stowed
And there's nothing to do
I gotta get myself through
So I am shopping at Skymall
That five-mile-high mall
That always has just what I need
When I get to the gate
And remember too late
I should've brought
Something to read
I'm OK...
'Cause I know that I'm gonna shop
Skymall!
I bought a pair of bonsai trees
I bought a big fake rock
Where I can hide my keys
From everyone
And I imagine what all my friends would say
To see this lovable Santa dance and sway
To my favorite songs
My favorite holiday songs
And I am shopping at Skymall
That five-mile-high mall
That always has just what I need
When I get to the gate and remember too late
I should've brought something to read
I'm OK... 'Cause I know that I'm gonna shop Skymall!
In Cleveland I bought a replica
Of the sword that was broken
And then somewhere above Detroit
Some 'successories' that say "Lead with vision"
I love you best when I'm away
And while I'm out here I look
Forward to the day When I come home.
'Cause there's something special waiting there
It's a whimsical statue of a bear
That holds a bottle of wine
But please don't touch it it's mine....
Because I bought it at Skymall
That five-mile-high mall
That always has just what I need
When I get to the gate and remember too late
I should've brought something to read
It's OK... 'Cause I know that I'm gonna shop Skymall!
