Grocery Blues Lyric by Arlo Guthrie

Grocery Blues Lyric

by Arlo Guthrie

Lyric:



I Went Down To The Grocery Store

To Get In I Had To Pay A Dime Or More

I Hadn't Yet Begun To Start

When I Had To Pay The Rent On The Shopping Cart



Deedle Lee Dumb, Deedle Lee Dumb

Deedle Lee Dumb De Dumb Dumb



Well I Let The Kids Loose On The Floor

And They Ran Round For A While Or More

Till The Manager With The Broken Smile

Said It's A Dollar Down And A Quarter An Aisle



Deedle Lee Dumb, Deedle Lee Dumb

Deedle Lee Dumb De Dumb Dumb



I Was Down In The Freezer Upon My Knees

Somebody Was Yelling That The Price Got Freezed

There Was A Rioting Mob, A Strangling Hold

I Received The Bill For The Escaping Cold



Deedle Lee Dumb, Deedle Lee Dumb

Deedle Lee Dumb De Dumb Dumb



It Was About This Time That I Was Goin' Insane

I Went And Picked The Kids Up In The Other Lane

Put Back The Food And Ran Out Of The Store

I Ain't Goin' Back To That Place No More



Deedle Lee Dumb, Deedle Lee Dumb

Deedle Lee Dumb De Dumb Dumb



Well I'm Tellin The Truth Now, I Don't Fib

I Don't Mind No Women's Lib

But If My Woman Don't Want To Go Down To The Store

The Family Ain't Gonna Eat No More



Deedle Lee Dumb, Deedle Lee Dumb

Deedle Lee Dumb De Dumb Dumb
