lyrics
Seventeen suits discounted 99 percent
An offer like this will save a dollar
Makes no sense
You can't refuse a deal like this
You're hoarding all you can, but
Someone's always gotta pay, so
Someone else can win
The department marked it up
And then they dropped it to the bottom
To make the sweatshop bosses think they'd
Get the workers
Get the workers
Get the workers
Got 'em
Who stitched the polyester on that frumpy cover up?
Was it mother?
A Machine?
The Children?
Slaves?
God?
Dammit
(God, damn!)
You got a lifetime supply
(Ooh! Ooh!)
That you might not live to use
(Ooh! Ooh!)
You got that feeling that you're feeling
When you get a good deal on
(Seventeen swimsuits!)
20 years have passed
And now the suits are in the drawer
Six or eight you're saving
Eight or ten you wore
Poolside in Cancun
At the all-inclue resort
You can't pass on a good deal,
But someone had to pay for it
Seventeen suits discounted 99 percent
An offer like this will save a dollar
Makes no sense
You can't refuse a deal like this
You're hoarding all you can, but
Someone's always gotta pay, so
Someone else can win
(God, damn!)
You got a lifetime supply
(Ooh! Ooh!)
That you might not live to use
(Ooh! Ooh!)
You got that feeling that you're feeling
When you get a good deal on
(Seventeen swimsuits!)
An offer like this will save a dollar
Makes no sense
You can't refuse a deal like this
You're hoarding all you can, but
Someone's always gotta pay, so

To make the sweatshop bosses think they'd
Get the workers
Get the workers
