Peanut Butter Conspiracy - Jimmy Buffett

作词：James Buffett

作曲：James Buffett

Lookin' back at my hard luck days

I really do have to laugh

Workin' in a dive for twenty six dollars

Spendin' it all on grass

We were hungry hard-luck heroes

Tryin' just to stay alive

We'd go down to the corner grocery

This is how we'd survive

Who's gonna steal the peanut butter

I'll get the can of sardines

Runnin' up and down

the aisle of the mini mart

Stickin' food in our jeans

We never took more than we could eat

There was plenty left on the rack

We all swore if we ever got rich

We would pay the mini mart back

Yes sir yes sir

We would pay the mini mart back

It was a two man operation

Had it all down on a note

Ricky would watch that big round mirror

And I'd fill up my coat

Then we'd head for the check-out aisle

With a lemon and a bottle of beer

Into the car got to make it on home

Suppertime's getting near

So who's gonna steal the peanut butter

I'll get the can of sardines

Runnin' up and down

the aisle of the mini mart

Stickin' food in our jeans

Never took more than we could eat

There was plenty left on the rack

We all swore if we ever got rich

We would pay the mini mart back

Yes sir yes sir

We would pay the mini mart back

I guess every good picker

has had some hard times

I sure had my share

It's really kinda funny to

laugh at 'em now

But I don't want to go back there

So every now and then

when I'm in the grocery

I'll take a little but not much

'Cause you never know

when those hard times'll hitcha

And I don't want to lose my touch

So who's gonna steal the peanut butter

I'll get the can of sardines

Runnin' up and down

the aisle of the mini mart

Stickin' food in our jeans

We never took more than we could eat

There was plenty left on the rack

We all swore if we ever got rich

We would pay the mini mart back

Yes sir yes sir

We would pay the mini mart back

Yes sir yes sir

We would pay the mini mart back
