Grocery Blues |
I went down to the grocery store |
To get in I had to pay a dime or more |
I hadn’t yet begun to start |
When I had to pay the rent |
On the shopping cart |
Deedle lee dum, deedle lee dum |
Deedle lee dum de dum dum |
Well I let the kids loose on the floor |
And they ran round for a while or more |
Till the manager with the broken smile |
Said it’s a dollar down and a quarter an aisle |
I was down in the freezer upon my knees |
Somebody was yelling that the price got freezed |
There was a rioting mob, a strangling hold |
I received the bill for the escaping cold |
It was about this time that I was goin’insane |
I went and picked the kids up in the other lane |
Put back the food and ran out of the store |
I ain’t goin’back to that place no more |
Well I’m tellin the truth now, I don’t fib |
I don’t mind no women’s lib |
But if my woman don’t want |
To go down to the store |
The family ain’t gonna eat no more |
