Lyrics:
(to the tune of "Carol of the Bells")
Oh, how the mall,
Chaotic mall,
Noisy and wild,
Freaks out my child.
Music is loud,
Crushed by the crowd,
Blocking our way,
Wrecking our day.
So much to hear,
So much to fear,
So hard to walk,
Sensory shock.
Madly we dash,
Doling out cash.
Got to depart,
Meltdown will start.
Crying, screaming, flopping, overloaded,
Kicking, flailing, whining, railroaded.
Stressed out, we flee,
My child and me,
Shopping online’s
Sure sounding fine.
