- Arlo Guthrie Grocery Blues 歌詞

- words and music by
Arlo Guthrie
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 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
CHORUS 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 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
CHORUS 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
CHORUS
