SkyMall - Jonathan Coulton

O’Hare is nice this time of year

I check my bags and find my seat and buy a beer and settle in

Such is my life here on the road

Now my seat back is up, tray table stowed

And there’s nothing to do

I gotta get myself through

So I am shopping in SkyMall

That five-mile-high mall

That always has just what I need

When I get to the gate and remember too late

I should have brought something to read

I’m OK, cause I know that I’m gonna shop SkyMall

I bought a pair of bonsai trees

I bought a big fake rock where I can hide my keys from everyone

And I imagine what all my friends would say

To see this lovable Santa dance and sway to my favorite songs

My favorite holiday songs

And I am shopping in SkyMall

That five-mile-high mall

That always has just what I need

When I get to the gate and remember too late

I should have brought something to read

I’m OK, cause I know that I’m gonna shop SkyMall

In Cleveland, I bought a replica of the sword that was broken

And then somewhere above Detroit some Successories that say «Lead with Vision»

I love you best when I’m away

And while I’m out here I look forward to the day

When I come home

Cause there’s something special waiting there

It’s a whimsical statue of a bear that holds a bottle of wine

But please don’t touch it, it’s mine

Because I bought it in SkyMall

That five-mile-high mall

That always has just what I need

When I get to the gate and remember too late

I should have brought something to read

It’s OK, cause I know that I’m gonna shop SkyMall

Cause I know that I’m gonna shop SkyMall
