SkyMall is a song by Jonathan Coulton about buying unnecessary/frivolous things from SkyMall, a popular plane magazine that is known for having really unnecessary or dumb things advertised in it.
[Verse 1]
O'Hare is nice this time of year
I check my bags and find my seat and buy a beer and settle in
Such is my life here on the road
Now my seat back is up, tray table stowed
And there's nothing to do
I gotta get myself through
[Chorus]
So I am shopping in SkyMall
That five-mile-high mall
That always has just what I need
When I get to the gate and remember too late
I should have brought something to read
I'm OK, cause I know that I'm gonna shop SkyMall
[Verse 2]
I bought a pair of bonsai trees
I bought a big fake rock where I can hide my keys from everyone
And I imagine what all my friends would say
To see this lovable Santa dance and sway to my favorite songs
My favorite holiday songs
[Chorus]
And I am shopping in SkyMall
That five-mile-high mall
That always has just what I need
When I get to the gate and remember too late
I should have brought something to read
I'm OK, cause I know that I'm gonna shop SkyMall
[Bridge]
In Cleveland, I bought a replica of the sword that was broken
And then somewhere above Detroit some Successories that say "Lead with Vision"
[Verse 3]
I love you best when I'm away
And while I'm out here I look forward to the day
When I come home
Cause there's something special waiting there
It's a whimsical statue of a bear that holds a bottle of wine
But please don't touch it, it's mine
[Chorus]
Because I bought it in SkyMall
That five-mile-high mall
That always has just what I need
When I get to the gate and remember too late
I should have brought something to read
It's OK, cause I know that I'm gonna shop SkyMall
Cause I know that I'm gonna shop SkyMall
