[Verse 1]
Attention all shoppers
It's Cancellation Day
Yes the Big Adiós
Is just a few hours away
[Chorus]
It's last call
To do your shopping
At the last mall
[Verse 2]
You'll need the tools for survival
And the medicine for the blues
Sweet treats and surprises
For the little buckaroos
[Chorus]
It's last call
To do your shopping
At the last mall
[Bridge]
We've got a sweetheart Sunset Special
And all of the standard stuff
'Cause in the morning—that gospel morning
You'll have to do for yourself when the going gets tough
Attention all shoppers
It's Cancellation Day
Yes the Big Adiós
Is just a few hours away
[Chorus]
It's last call
To do your shopping
At the last mall
[Verse 2]
You'll need the tools for survival
And the medicine for the blues
Sweet treats and surprises
For the little buckaroos
[Chorus]
It's last call
To do your shopping
At the last mall
[Bridge]
We've got a sweetheart Sunset Special
And all of the standard stuff
'Cause in the morning—that gospel morning
You'll have to do for yourself when the going gets tough
