Got the craving for some lunch,
but I ain't got nothing to munch
My mind is set on just one wish
a big ol' sandwich - tuna fish
Time to make a grocery run,
I'll walk there in the morning sun
Make a list of what I need most:
Tuna fish and bread (for toast)
And though my stomach may be empty,
I'll feed my head from the horn of plenty
Roll a joint Bob Marley style
and smoke it 'till it makes me smile
Starting off in aisle one,
fruits and veggies by the ton
Hey check it out, raddiccio!
These red leaves, man, they almost glow!
And bok choy! I've always wanted to try it,
I wonder if I have enough to buy it?
It's grown in Japan, or maybe China,
or maybe some farm in South Carolina?
Just then I hear a voice in my head:
"stay focused, man, tuna & bread,"
But right now I'm in produce bliss
Oh man, I'm too high for this
Too high for the supermarket,
too high for the grocery store
Too high for the supermarket,
ain't gonna shop like this no more
(Everyone in here is staring at me...)
Sixteen different brands of tuna,
Chicken of the Sea or Big Kahuna
Packed in oil, packed in water,
dolphin friendly, dolphin slaughtered
And oh God, what about the bread?
Should I get white or wheat instead?
Or... rye! Rye's the best I've tasted
Rye is best when ever you're wasted!
Too high for the supermarket,
too high for the grocery store
too high for the supermarket
ain't gonna shop like this no more
Finally done, its check-out time,
searching for the shortest line
The Express Lane! But they don't take checks..
and you've got to have ten items or less,
so let's see...
Ding Dongs, a bag of chips,
Cap'n Crunch and some onion dip,
(it's sugar and salt, space and schism,
the yin and yang of munchie Taoism)
I got my favorite beer, Carlinger,
and pre-sweetened Kool-Aid you eat with your finger
(You lick your finger, then you stick it in the bag, then your stick it down your throat but not too far or you gag)
That's less than ten! Check me out, go ahead!
Oh, I forgot the tuna and the bread...
Too high for the supermarket,
too high for the grocery store
too high for the supermarket,
ain't gonna shop like this no more
too high (too high!)
too high (too high!)
way too high for the supermarket, yeah
