[Verse 1] I stood in line since half past five, For a deal that barely kept my hopes alive. They pushed, they shouted, they tore my shoes — Oh lord, I’ve got those Black Friday Blues! [Pre-Chorus] I saw a grandma swing a TV box, A dad went down in a pile of socks. It’s merry madness, what can I do? The season’s spirit’s out of view! [Chorus] I’ve got the Black Friday Blues, baby, what a show! No peace on earth, just lights that glow. Spent my cheer and my credit too, On a discount dream that won’t come true. [Verse 2] Clicked “add to cart” — the site went down, I cursed my Wi-Fi all through town. Now Santa’s late and my coffee’s cold — This jolly tale’s already old. [Chorus] I’ve got the Black Friday Blues, baby, what a show! No peace on earth, just lights that glow. Spent my cheer and my credit too, On a discount dream that won’t come true. [Bridge - slow swing] Maybe Christmas ain’t for sale, Maybe joy’s not in the mail. I’ll skip the lines and raise a glass — To love, not stuff that doesn’t last. [Chorus] I’ve got the Black Friday Blues, baby, what a show! No peace on earth, just lights that glow. Spent my cheer and my credit too, On a discount dream that won’t come true. [Final Chorus] Got those Black Friday Blues, but I’ll be fine, Turned off my phone, poured some wine. Forget the madness, forget the news — I’ll sing away these Black Friday Blues! “Now honey, next year I’m buyin’ nothin’… except maybe… time with you.”
