(To the tune of “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” from Fiddler on the Roof)
Amazon, Amazon ship me some stuff
No matter how much, I can’t get enough
Tools, electronics, or links for my cuff
Oh, Amazon ship me stuff
When I am ordering, life is sublime
I think I’m addicted to Amazon Prime
I wait for the date when the doorbell will chime
And boxes arrive on time
Bridge:
When that fellow Jeff Bezos
Gave online orders a start
He was trying to please us
No waiting in stores to empty our cart
Whoever thought I’d be feeling such glee
No COVID-induced existential ennui
I just make a list for my next shopping spree
Then nothing can bother me
I had a dream my life’s journey was through
I picked out a casket, based on a review
Then “Proceed to Checkout” meant something quite new
And Heaven had Amazon too!
So Amazon, Amazon ship me more stuff
No matter how much, it won’t be enough
I turn on my laptop and sit on my duff
While Amazon ships
Do I need chocolate chips?
I love shopping Amazon with my pajamas on
Amazon ship me stuff.
