"Down at the Mall"
Good morning Muggles, and welcome to Muggle Meta Monday!
This week’s meta is called “Down at the Mall.” As for a rating, I think it’s around a Week 2. Please PM me your solution by 10 PM on Saturday, and as has become the custom, I’ll post a couple snapshots of a leaderboard during the week. Feel free to PM me for nudges, but try to stick with it for a couple days first. If nothing else, there’s always Nudge Wednesday.
One correct solver will be chosen at random and will receive an item of his/her choice from my swag bag (a Blarney Rebel Band CD, a Utica Club keepsake, or a $15 donation to a charity of your choice).

I know what's going to be running through my head all day now....
There's a brand new shopping center, seven stories high
There's bound to be a sale or two; something we can buy
There's four floors of parking, and we're sure to find a space
We'll spend all the money that the government doesn't take
Down in the mall
I'll be your man
We'll go shopping, babe
It's something we can stand
Down in the mall
We will abide
Up on the escalator
Darling, we will ride
Shopping for a pair of shoes, shopping for a hat
We're buying some of this, and we're buying some of that
We'll shop up a storm till we can't shop no more
Then we're stopping off at the video store
Down in the mall
I'll be your man
We'll go shopping, babe
It's something we can stand
Down in the mall
We'll be alright
Monday through Saturday
Till nine o'clock at night
We're buying CDs, and we're buying lingerie
We'll put it on a charge account we're never gonna pay
Department store, camera store, tobacco store, appliance store
Sporting goods, oriental imports
You buy everything you want and then you want more
Down in the mall
I'll be your man
We'll go shopping, babe
It's something we can stand
Down in the mall
We will abide
Up on the escalator
Darling, we will ride

OTC test-solver, with a micro-nudge. Liked it!
