Imagine There's No Walmart

I literally have nothing interesting in my life to write about, but my goal is to blog 3-4 times a week, so I have decided to expand your world with another new song.  This one is set to John Lennon's "Imagine", in which he envisions a better world.  I also have envisioned a better world, as described in my version.  Make sure you pause for Lennon's classic piano overture throughout the song.  I'm not sure if I captured it in the right places, but it's not the same without it.  Try to resist the temptation to rush throught it, and sing the song at normal speed in your head.  This is a song to be savored like a fine wine, not gulped down like beer from a funnel.  Now, without further adieu.

(somber yet catchy piano tune playing)

Imagine there's no Walmart
(doodle doo-de doo)
It's easy if you try
(doodle doo-de doo)

No long lines to stand in
(doodle doo-de doo)
No Christmas in July

Imagine all the people
Shopping less today...

Imagine no sweats or spandex
(doodle doo-de doo)
It isn't hard to do
(doodle doo-de doo)

No sales to kill or die for
(doodle doo-de doo)
And no rollbacks too

Imagine all the people
Living life debt-free...
(Oh -o)

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you will join us
At Target to get your shopping done

Imagine no store greeters
(doodle doo-de doo)
I wonder if you can
(doodle doo-de doo)

No smiley-faced stickers
(doodle doo-de doo)
Given by a disabled man

Imagine all the people
Not blocking all the doors...
(Heh-ay)

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you will join us
At Target to get your shopping done
