Food To Rent Lyrics - Singles - Bobs

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
