Lyrics
Shoplifting so happily,
everything today in the store's for free.
I got my raincoat and my sunglasses on,
as soon as my pocket's full, I'll be gone.
Heading straight for aisle 13
with the peanut butter and the canned string beans.
When I'm finished doing that
I'll pick up some puppy chow for my tomcat.
How about some nice fresh turnip greens,
I still got room in my pants for some magazines.
Some lucky charms, and some poptarts, some frosted flakes,
some baby back ribs and a pork loin, two-twenty ounce steaks.
Shoplifting so happily,
everything today in the store's for free.
Should I get a carton or a gallon or a liter
of semi-homogenized milk from a 2% cow.
I got a pack of pencils poking pinholes in my pocket
on my pant leg pulling out a penny and a pack of Pez.
Got a pint of Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk
melting down my back side, better head to check out now.
More than a hundred items
and I coast through the express lane.
She gives me a smile and says,
please come back again.
Shoplifting so happily,
everything today in the store's for free.
