Lyrics

GROCERY STORE ETIQUETTE
Music and lyrics by Joe Olivier

Too Many Choices . . it Takes Time when There?s Twenty-Two-Types of Toothpaste ?to-Tackle
Open Items before the Sale . .. is it really ok when you?re going-to-buy-it anywa-a-a-ay?
Manhandling Produce . . can I discard these bruised banana?s from the bu-u-u-nch.
I Changed my Mi-i-ind . .shouldn?t I put this back in it?s proper pla-a-a-a-ce ?


CHORUS:
Are there rules in the present tense ? None in the chapter of common sense. .on
the dealings that one handles at the store , grocery store etiquette. . .

Aisle holdups . .whose family is blocking the wa ? a ? a -ay.
Food Sample Peddlers . . please, try some of th-e-e-ese . . crackers and chee-e-e-se !
Some people seem to think the Aisle?s have the Right of Wa-a-a-y .
Broken Items on the floor? I should take care of it, before someone-else slips-on-it.

Too Many Items in the ?express? aisle . .do similar items count as o-one ?
?I can take the next person ? ok, well which of us fou-u-ur ? Can?t you make the c-a-all ?
Checkout-the-Charity-Trap .. . I already gave my dollar for the day ( Does Uncle Sam count ?)
Foo-oo-ood Di-vid-ers . .which person in li -ha ?hi ?hi ne should situ-ate i-i-it ?
