The 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
