Sentence: Oweholynight! The stores are brightly shining, It is the night of getting your money's worth, Long lay those cards in purse and pocket pining, Tills reappear and the soul spent its worth. A thrill of hope the retail world rejoices, For yonder breaks your budget by Mastercard. Fall on your knees! Owe, hear the Visa voices! Owenight divine, Owenight when AmEx was reborn; Owenight divine, Owenight, Owenight Divine.
