Queens of the Cardboard Jungle
Cheap cardboard clothes and tearaway dreams
Coupons drip dry thru lush laden aisles
This menagerie's not quite what it seems
Stitched across all their cheap cardboard smiles!
They'll tell you what's hot, sell you what's not
Just bring your friends, come play in our yards
While you buy and buy all that they've got
They smile while they fleece greased credit cards!
Designer rags and shoes that's walked miles
Once you get home, you spy the bungle
Stitched again by imitation smiles
They're the Queens of the Cardboard Jungle!
