Grocery Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Deedle lee dum, deedle lee dum Deedle lee dum de da [Verse 2] Well, I let the kids loose on the floor And they ran around for a while or more Till the manager with the broken smile Said it's a dollar down and a quarter an aisle [Chorus] Deedle lee dum, deedle lee dum Deedle lee dum dum dum [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Deedle lee dum, deedle lee dum Deedle lee deedle lee dum [Piano solo] [Verse 4] It was about this time that I was going 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 going back to that place no more [Chorus] Deedle lee dum, deedle lee dum Deedle lee deedle lee dum [Verse 5] Well I'm tellin the truth now, I don't fib I don't mind no woman's lib But if my woman don't want to go down to the store The family isn't gonna eat no more [Chorus] Deedle lee dum, deedle lee dum Deedle lee dum de dum dum Deedle lee dum, deedle lee dum Deedle lee deedle lee dum
