The Lyrics
sucks glumly starvin'
bummin' groceries
no home there be
they're...in poverty
they're needy persons
not bums, though, you see
crumbs crumbs crumbs crumbs
from the supermart
they come callin'
c'mon, do your part
times are appallin'
not bums, though, you see
yes, they need you
do not aim to bleed you
"please" sayin' gents, ungreedy
not bein' clever
not a sly endeavor
they only ask for a chance
tums tums tums tums
stomachs often smart
pangs of hunger
aches begin to start
their tums are growlin'
not bums, though, you see
down in the city
bummin' groceries
oh what a pity
bummin' groceries
help itty bitty
not bums, though, you see
bummin' groceries
no home there be
they're...in poverty
they're needy persons
not bums, though, you see
crumbs crumbs crumbs crumbs
from the supermart
they come callin'
c'mon, do your part
times are appallin'
not bums, though, you see
yes, they need you
do not aim to bleed you
"please" sayin' gents, ungreedy
not bein' clever
not a sly endeavor
they only ask for a chance
tums tums tums tums
stomachs often smart
pangs of hunger
aches begin to start
their tums are growlin'
not bums, though, you see
down in the city
bummin' groceries
oh what a pity
bummin' groceries
help itty bitty
not bums, though, you see

Good parody for today's economy. 5's
I second Adagio's comment. I grocery shop every weekend but made sure to spend under $20 (I just bought broccoli, carrots, and a carton of spaghetti under $15 this weekend btw. They were on sale). You and AFW are professionals when it comes to parody writing! Anyway, for your grocery items, take 5 fruits, 5 vegetables, and 5 cereals (or any product of your choice).
thanks adagio....the economy sucks indeed...thanks christie....thanks for the groceries !
I'm not what one would call rich at all, yet I'm not even close to the dude in your parody. I save a lot of money by shopping at Costco and Sam's Club, and the free samples at Costco are excellent. Great job, and 5s.
A sad state of affairs sumptuously displayed on comedy aisle 5...
Sir Alvin, ~Duke 0'Dice, Marquis de Swerin' Roads ~ this situation is definitely growing here in norCAL" with so many begging on the streets of Silicon Valley!
thanks andria.....i'm far from rich as well....thanks TJC.....thanks MadameCrumbCakes
Groceries for thoughts...and five carrots for this...
thanks AFW
