Mall Walkers Pledge

Mall Walkers, Mall Walkers,
We're the ones.
We meet once a week,
Just to get it done.

We walk for miles,
when Thursdays arrive.
We choose not to be lazy,
Our goal is to survive.

We follow our friends,
up and down the aisles,
We often get tired,
But leave room for smiles.

To join our club,
you needn't be "weakers".
For a healthier lifestyle,
just bring your sneakers.
