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 da Well, I let the kids loose on the floor And they ran around for a while or more 'Til the manager with the broken smile Said it's a dollar down and a quarter an aisle Deedle lee dum, deedle lee dum Deedle lee dum dum dum 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 Deedle lee dum, deedle lee dum Deedle lee deedle lee dum 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 Deedle lee dum, deedle lee dum Deedle lee deedle lee dum 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 Deedle lee dum, deedle lee dum Deedle lee dum de dum dum Deedle lee dum, deedle lee dum Deedle lee deedle lee dum
