He wore his big gaudy oversize rolex
Chewing on some tex-mex with his ex
Forever flipping through his rolodex
On the phone with gents and rednecks
He’d invite his clientele to a fashion vortex
On the main floor of his triplex
Where he sold suits in the annex
And quality unisex turtlenecks
In exchange for cash and cheques
When he’d run out he’d offer rainchecks
Or start showing off some fancy crewnecks
Everything to get noticed at discotheques

A lot of children will be unhappy on Christmas day.
They will be expecting to get a Nintendo Wii to play.
But they'll be shocked and angry when they only receive an IOU.
They'll get their Wii's sometime next year, that was lousy of Nintendo to do.
Nintendo should've made enough Wii's to go around.
They're not being efficient and they've let children down.
Some children will throw tantrums and others will shed tears.
They want to get the Wii on Christmas day, not sometime next year.
Christmas is almost here, it's less than one week away.
It's sad because many kids will be disappointed on Christmas day.
