Costy the Co Man

Costy the Co man
Had a wild Christmas this year
All the people came
More than he could name
And he had to work in fear

Of being trampled
If he got into their way
Like under a spell
Couldn’t even tell
What they wanted anyway

There must have been some magic in
Those advertisements aired
Each shopping elf, on every shelf
Not a single item spared!

Poor Costy’s Christmas
Well, it went down kind of rough
Didn’t feel too well
Couldn’t even tell
Why they wanted all that stuff!
