Many of you have heard the Weird Al parody of the Backstreet Boys' "I want it that way" that talks about eBay. If not, you can listen to it here:

Weird Al eBay song

Last January, during the frenzy of the now infamous CODE, I was unfortunate enough to also be eBay-crazed. Thus, the American Girl Fans version of the eBay song emerged. This AG eBayers Anthem can be set to either version of the song - I borrowed a few lyrics from both. Please note that there is one more stanza than there is music; therefore the last stanza's in brackets. Enjoy!

AG's my fire
But they retire
Believe when I say
Good thing there's eBay

I know we will never meet
But my heart skips a beat
When you say
"Your doll shipped yesterday"

Tell me why (my doll really does need that crutch)
Tell me why (that clothes press goes for so darn much)
Tell me why (some people spell it Lindsay)
I got her on eBay!

Are you my buyer?
Who knew? You and I are
Posting on the Board every day
And now, too, on eBay

Tell me why (some get away with selling fakes)
Tell me why (I can't find mint Shrewsbury cakes)
Tell me why (my DH feels the need to say)
No more dolls from eBay!

Now I can see that my room's filling up
With furniture and doll clothes, whoa
My family may look at me like I've gone nuts
But I just don't care who knows

I want that paisley
dress and a Kailey
for cheap (for cheap, for cheap, for cheap)
Hey look! A buy it now!

A guitar for Lissie to strum
Can't wait for UPS to come
That toy farm will be mine some day!
I'll search on eBay.

Tell me why (So many sets I didn't need)
Tell me why (Saw in albums and with such speed) (like lighting)
I ordered them all right away
More feedback on eBay

Gonna buy (A new outfit for my Bitty)
And an '86 Felicity) (is that right?)
Learn something new every day
On the Board and eBay

[Tell me why (Don't matter if I have THE CODE)
Won't lighten up my watch list load
Seems that I (Can't think when I last spent a day)
Without checking eBay]

My AG from eBay...
