Mall of Galaxy

Mall of Galaxy

Music and Lyrics: Gary J. Ehrlich (c) 5/94

This song is dedicated to New Jersey, home of the first shopping mall. It is also a sequel to "Hyperion," a fact which becomes painfully evident upon close inspection of the fourth verse.


     D               G                D
When you are looking for that special someone
  D                G              A
Before you all our wonders will unfurl
   A                                  D
If you shop here you're certain to discover
     Em            G                 A
That present truly rare; out of this world

    D                     G             D
Our sights and sounds and colors will assault you
       D                   G               A
You'll gasp when you first step within our doors
     G                                 D
When you see what this mall presents before you
       G                                  A
You're sure to say, "My god! It's full of stores!"

                     G            A     D            G
CHO: And you'll find anything you want, anything you need
     G          A                D            G
     Anything beneath the stars, anything you dream
        G                A                  D    A        G
     No matter if you're browsing or you're on a shopping spree
                    Em                  D
     You'll find it here at Mall of Galaxy

Our food warp is the best you've ever tasted
You'll dine on things you never thought you'd eat
Of every size, taste, texture, smell, and color
Both live and dead, cuisine that can't be beat

Some cafes here are off the beaten wormhole
Some dinners here go on for several days
The strangest mix of restaurants you'll find here
From Planet Hollywood to Milliways

CHORUS

We've taken shopping to a new dimension
In fact we've built our mall in three or four
We stretch in all directions for a light year
You could spend months in each department store

Just leave a grand at one of our bank branches
The interest rates you'll find are very fair
And by the time you've found the mall's far reaches
You'll find that you've become a billionaire!

CHORUS

And if you need a good hotel to stay in
The Hyperion is just around the bend
Just don't forget where you have parked your engines
Or else your sojourn here may never end

All beings have the instinct to acquire
This complex is like none you've ever seen
If you survive your trip through our environs
We'll make you sing "This mall has everything!"
