Well, I landed at a shoppin' center, in an unknown state
Unknown kind of architecture, atmospheric trait
Unknown brand and labels, unknown market chains
The strangest collection of buildings here
Upon the fruited plain.
And let's rock,
And let's go.

You see, you got the different labels and the different brands,
Each little region across the land
Different colors in the different states
Different labels, and let's tell 'em about
All the different states for all the different traits,
And as of this date I hate no state.
And let's rock,
And let's go.

Well, I walked through the mall and I walked up and down,
I done got tired so I done sat down.
I watched the people for a while, you always learn a little
De-doily doidy doit doit doit doit diddle

Let's rock.
Let's go.

Well, the giant sign says "Momo Plaza,"
These centers, I don't know, it has a
weirdo insignia they put on all the bags,
they wrote it on the walls, even paint a flag

If I were a shopping center, I'd sure be embarrassed.
I know I'd never get a date with some cute little building, like from Paris.

Let's rock.
Let's go.
