Lyrics:
With signature Steely Dan black humor, a mall employee delivers something of a sermon over the mall PA system: finish up your (literal) business, because the world is about to end.
Attention all shoppers
It's Cancellation Day
Yes the Big Adiós
Is just a few hours away
It's last call
To do your shopping
At the last mall
You'll need the tools for survival
And the medicine for the blues
Sweet treats and surprises
For the little buckaroos
It's last call
To do your shopping
At the last mall
We've got a sweetheart Sunset Special
And all of the standard stuff
'Cause in the morning—that gospel morning
You'll have to do for yourself when the going gets tough
Roll your cart back up the aisle
Kiss the checkout girls goodbye
Ride the ramp to the freeway
Beneath the blood orange sky
It's last call
To do your shopping
At the last mall
At the last mall
We've got a sweetheart Sunset Special
And all of the standard stuff
'Cause in the morning—that gospel morning
You'll have to do for yourself when the going gets tough
(Going gets tough)
Roll your cart back up the aisle
Kiss the checkout girls goodbye
Ride the ramp to the freeway
Beneath the blood orange sky
It's last call
To do your shopping
At the last mall
It's last call
To do your shopping
At the last mall
It's last call
To do your shopping
At the last mall
