If everybody had a checkbook
That they could write away
Then everybody'd be writin'
Out their amount to pay
You'd see 'em carry their wallets
Their stack of charge cards too
A couple days before Christmas...
Shoppin' U.S.A.

You'd catch 'em shoppin' at Younkers,
Von Maur's store, so fine
Office Max and Talbot's,
There's Target and Best Buy
All over the city
You'll see the people sway

Everybody's gone shoppin'
Shoppin' U.S.A.

We'll all be crowdin' at the mall
We're gonna have a ball
We're wastin' all our money,
But no one cares at all
When it comes time in the summer,
Then everybody will say,
"How'd me manage those shopping,
Christmas shopping days?!"

Catherine's and Lemstone's,
Wal-Mart and Fannie May
Dollar Tree and Dillard's,
The B&N Cafe,
You never find parking,
Put crap on layaway,

Everybody's gone shoppin',
Shoppin' U.S.A.

Everybody's gone shoppin',
Shoppin' U.S.A.

Everybody's gone shoppin',
Shoppin' U.S.A.
