Rosie the Riveter is in us all
Doing our part at the shopping mall.
Everywhere you go Christmas is here
But there’s a good reason its early this year.
You see “We can do it!” Rosie exclaims
Our boys overseas we proudly will name
Need our economy to stay in good shape
Get her a ring or a crushed velvet cape.

Our great and proud nation our soldiers defend
Back home we’re told to go, get out and spend.
Keep the money moving, load up the coffers
So the bounty on Bin laden can be a better offer!
See on Rosie’s arm there’s a tattoo of “MOM”
She got it at the mall back in Vietnam!
We can do it, we can do it, yes we must!
Roll up our sleeves and in God we trust

Walt,
I'll bet your right about that tatoo! You must be because the rest is true.
