Please, Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go!

[ShinyGreenApple]

Or substitute your manager's name in place of Custer, if you will, in light of the holiday season being now upon us in full force. *shudders*

That famous day in history the shoppers of the 21st Century went charging on
And from the rear a voice was heard
A brave store clerk with a trembling word rang loud and clear

What am I doin' here??

Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go
Hey, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go
I had a dream last night about the sale tonight
Somebody yelled "Half off at the clearance rack!"
And there I lay with shoe prints on my back.

Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go (“Open up on register 5!”) –Aaww

SPOKEN: Look at them buggies out there
They're movin’, and there's an SC behind every one
Hey, Mr. Custer-you mind if I be excused the rest of the afternoon?
Hey, Charlie, shut your light off!!! *fwoosh*
Hmm, you're a little bit late on that one, Charlie
Hooh, I bet that smarts!

They were sure of bargain victory, the shoppers of the 21st Century, as they charged on

But then from the rear a voice was heard
That same brave voice with the trembling word rang loud and clear

What am I doin' here??

Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go
Listen, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go
There's a customer a-waitin' out in the mob, just fixin’ to ‘have my job’
A coward I've been called cuz I don't wanna wind up written up or fired!

Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go (“Register 5 is open with no wait!”) –Aaww

SPOKEN: I wonder what the SC word for friend is
Let's see-friend-- free merchandise, that's it
FREE MERCHANDISE! Hey out there, FREE MERCHANDISE!
Nope, that itn't it
Lookit ‘em out there, they're runnin' around like a bunch of wild animals, heh, heh, heh
Nah, this ain't no time for jokin'

[PuckishOne]

Oh my...that was awesome!! Somewhere in a dusty old box I have an LP with that song on it that I may just have to go dig up...

[MadRocketScientist]

Now I gotta go raid my parents LP collection for their Funny Bone album (and get the Name Game, The Thing, Along Came Jones, and other goodies).

[powerboy]

Oh my god, I love this song. I have heard it once before, and couldn't remember the name

[Bagga]

Sung by a comedian called Charlie Drake.

Who also sang:

I Bent my Assegai

and

My Boomerang Won't Come Back

and a great version of:

Splish Splash (I Was Having a Bath)

Dear o dear I have just shown my age! However, I also know the words from many songs published 10 years before I was born. (Vera Lynn, Gracie Fields, George Formby, AAGH I have done it again!)

[ArenaBoy]

I'm sending this to my friend. She just started working at Wal-Mart and she's working Black Friday.

[bigjimaz]

Larry Verne, or maybe it was Sheb Whooly. I haven't heard this old thing in YEARS. Thanks for reminding me of happier times and, even more, thanks for the CS version. That just plain rocks.

[Becks]

I used to listen to the (original version) song all the time!!

That was a good one!!!!!

[BrightEyedKitty]

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I love it!
