Oh, the first scam of Christmas this conman gave to me
Was a counterfeit Chanel tote bag
Oh, the second scam of Christmas this conman gave to me
Two fake money checks
And a counterfeit Chanel tote bag
Oh, the third scam of Christmas this conman gave to me
Three fake island homes
Two fake money checks
And a counterfeit Chanel tote bag
Oh, the fourth scam of Christmas this conman gave to me
Four black-market coupons

I'd like to hear this sung
Glad to see you wrote the whole thing out. That always makes it easier to read.
Scamtastic! 555!
Thanks, guys. I have a video of myself singing this on my YouTube channel, the link to which can be accessed via my earlier parodies. I'll put in a link next time.
Tell me about it, but you left out NINETY NINE, NINETY NINE - one penny short of one hundred. And there's "Only one dollar a day!", well how many days are there in a month?
Thanks, 2Eagle. I don't think I've heard of that scam, though for the sake of the song I included the more common ones. But yes, it depends on the month.
I know all about these, and my e-mail address seems to be a favorite for spammers. Great work, and 5s.
Thanks, Andria. My email address(es) get pelted on with spammer action, too.
