Hey, remember the song “American Woman” by The Guess Who? Well, I thought that might be a fun song to make fun of the ridiculously high-priced American Girl doll stuff. So here are the lyrics to a possible new parental protest song (by The Guess Who’s Paying for It):
American Girl doll, stay away from me-e!
American Girl doll, you cost too much mone-ey!
Don’t go hanging around my daughter,
I can’t make my cash flow like water,
I got more important things to do,
With my money than spend it on you,
Now Girl doll, I said stay awa-ay!
American Girl doll, your prices I can’t pa-ay!
American Girl doll, get away from me-e,
American Girl doll, I wish your stuff was free-ee!
My girl depletes all of my cash,
Trying to buy your bourgeois trash,
When she wants to accessorize,
My bank account becomes half its size,
Now Girl doll, I said get awa-ay!
American Girl doll, your prices I can’t pa-ay!
(Friends of mine who have daughters constantly complain about how expensive the American Girl stuff is, so I thought I would write this song to “raise awareness”.)
