Supermarket Weep! – Lyrics

Verse 1
Dashing round the supermarket,
Rushing up and down the aisles,
It’s hard to pick from all the choices,
Filling up the shopping trolley,
Darting past the fruit and veg
It’s on towards the crusty bread,
And then the fresh and frozen items,
Now the trolley’s full!
I’ve got some…
Bagels, baked beans, biscuits, burgers,
Cabbage, carrots, curry, croissant,
Fruit cake, French fries, fettuccine,
Mangoes, mushrooms, mozzarella,
Peaches, pickles, peppers, pasta,
Sausage, smoothies, salad, salmon,
Turkey, tuna, tiramisu,
What a lot of food we have to eat!

Verse 2
We are starving,
We have nothing,
Save us please
We need some food, oh help us!
We are starving,
We have nothing,
Save us please
We need some food, oh help us now!

Verse 2

Verses 1 and 2 combined
