The Lyrics
This parody was inspired by Earl S. Garber's parody "Christmas Time". I know some who used to work in a department store and that was my other inspiration. This is song is from the POV of a department store worker dealing with inconsiderate shoppers on December 23.
Closing time;
Time to finalize
all of your Christmas shopping.
Closing time;
Hear this on the speaker and
the registers will be hopping.
Closing time;
Christmas is the
busiest time of the whole year.
Closing time;
You don't have to stop shopping
but you can't stay here.
There's a cart blocking aisle four.
There's a mess on the store room floor.
The toy aisle looks like it was at war.
I can't handle this season no more.
Closing time;
Because of this mess
we cannot leave until four.
Time to finalize
all of your Christmas shopping.
Closing time;
Hear this on the speaker and
the registers will be hopping.
Closing time;
Christmas is the
busiest time of the whole year.
Closing time;
You don't have to stop shopping
but you can't stay here.
There's a cart blocking aisle four.
There's a mess on the store room floor.
The toy aisle looks like it was at war.
I can't handle this season no more.
Closing time;
Because of this mess
we cannot leave until four.

Funny, but pacing is way off.
Not only that, but the whole song isn't parodied.
Thanks for the input everybody. I'm new at this so a few lemons were expected.
I think your rhyming and continuity of theme was good...DKTOS..tho'
