"It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas"
Better Lyrics:
(This is about the dietary disabilities inflicted on people by selfish panic buyers who don't need certain foods, but empty Free From sections anyway.)
It's beginning to look a lot like Lidl
Ev'ry store you go
Take a look round and then
Check the shelves once again
There's no sign of bread to eat on show
It's beginning to look a lot like Lidl
Ev'ry store you go
Take a look round and then
Check the shelves once again
There's no sign of bread to eat on show
Original Lyrics:
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
Take a look in the five and ten
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow
Ev'rywhere you go
Take a look in the five and ten
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

Real Places Mentioned in Songs:
"(There's No Place Like) Home For The Holidays"
The Lyrics: I met a man who lived in Tennessee,
And he was headed for Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie. From Pennsylvania folks are travelin' down To Dixie's sunny shore. From Arlantic to Pacific, Gee, the traffic is terrific. Why: Refers to the U.S. States of Tennessee and Pennsylvania. Then refers to Dixie, a name for the southeastern U.S. Then refers to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, or in the context of the lyrics, arguably more specifically to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the U.S.
