[00:00.00]Grocery Blues - Arlo Guthrie
[00:04.22]I went down to the grocery store
[00:07.20]To get in I had to pay a dime or more
[00:10.77]I hadn't yet begun to start
[00:13.24]When I had to pay the
[00:14.60]Rent on the shopping cart
[00:16.79]Deedle lee dum deedle lee dum
[00:19.76]Deedle lee dum de dum dum
[00:22.56]Well I let the kids loose on the floor
[00:26.06]And they ran round for a while or more
[00:29.04]Till the manager with the broken smile
[00:32.03]Said it's a dollar down and a quarter an aisle
[00:35.54]Deedle lee dum deedle lee dum
[00:38.73]Deedle lee dum de dum dum
[00:41.54]I was down in the freezer upon my knees
[00:44.99]Somebody was yelling
[00:46.50]That the price got freezed
[00:47.88]There was a rioting mob a strangling hold
[00:51.18]I received the bill for the escaping cold
[00:54.58]Deedle lee dum deedle lee dum
[00:57.75]Deedle lee dum de dum dum
[01:19.64]It was about this time that I was goin' insane
[01:23.17]I went and picked the kids up in the other lane
[01:26.42]Put back the food and ran out of the store
[01:29.45]I ain't goin' back to that place no more
[01:32.61]Deedle lee dum deedle lee dum
[01:35.82]Deedle lee dum de dum dum
[01:38.60]Well I'm tellin the truth now I don't fib
[01:42.61]I don't mind no women's lib
[01:45.06]But if my woman don't
[01:46.65]Want to go down to the store
[01:48.51]The family ain't gonna eat no more
[01:51.89]Deedle lee dum deedle lee dum
[01:54.98]Deedle lee dum de dum dum
[01:58.30]Deedle lee dum deedle lee dum
[02:01.36]Deedle lee dum de dum dum
