(Tune: “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town”)
1. You’d better watch out, it’s happening fast
Mom and Pop shops are a thing of the past
Wal-Mart stores are coming to town
The corner store’s gone, it couldn’t compete
With mega-marts covering a million square feet
Wal-Mart stores are coming to town
Two hundred billion dollars
They’re haulin’ in each year
They’re the biggest corporation
In both the hemispheres
They say they’re “just folks”, simple and plain
We know them as the Merchants of Shame
Wal-Mart stores are coming to town
2. You’d better take note if you’re in retail
Tomorrow your job might be up for sale
Wal-Mart stores are coming to town
A poverty wage is what you’ll expect
When you’ve got the Waltons writing your check
Wal-Mart stores are coming to town
They’re slashing pay and prices
A real downward race
Destroying our economy
While they wear their happy face
So it’s time to say “NO”, we’re taking a stand
Shopping for Justice, that is our plan
Wal-Mart stores aren’t running this town!
