Bobs - Food To Rent lyrics

Down at the grocery store

They got those things I like to eat

Oh, yeah

Down at the grocery store

I got enough for a box of Cream of Wheat

Oh, yeah

Don't you know I'd rather have a pound or two

of prime red meat

Down at the grocery store

Countin' out my pennies for some bread

Oh, yeah

Down and out, you know I'm poor

I'm sick of having margarine to spread

On bread

Listen Mr. Manager I'd like to rent my food instead

You rent it to me I'll bring it back

You rent it out to someone else

You'll make more money than you ever did before

Food to rent, food to borrow

Deposit required, I'll return it by tomorrow

Down at the grocery store

I'm tradin' in my chicken for some beef

Oh, yeah

Even though I may look poor

I rent my food, I'm not a common thief

Oh, no

The roast I got is A.O.K. its former owner had no teeth

You rent it to me I'll bring it back

You rent it out to someone else

You'll make more money than you ever did before

Food to rent, food to borrow

Deposit required, I'll return it by tomorrow

Down at the grocery store

Now everybody's got enough to eat

Oh, yeah

People walkin' in and out the door

Hear the thunder of their feet

Oh, yeah

Kids are trading bags of brussel sprouts in

for their favorite kind of treat

(Tofutti!)

Food to rent, food to borrow

Deposit required, I'll return it by tomorrow
